At The Summit Foundation, we help people give with purpose. Whether you want to support a single cause close to your heart or many, we offer flexible and effective ways to make a difference now and in the future.
Our Philanthropic Tools
Choose the giving strategy that best aligns with your goals:
- Donor-Advised Funds: Establish a donor-advised fund and your donations may be tax-deductible in the years you contribute to the fund. Recommend grants to charitable causes you care about on your own timeline.
- Charitable Bequests: Leave a legacy in your will or estate plan
- Gifts of Appreciated Stock: Maximize your giving and reduce capital gains taxes
- Gifts of Real Estate: Give now with the option to retain lifetime occupancy
