Give stock or cryptocurrency.
Giving a gift of appreciated stock, securities, or cryptocurrency is one of the smartest ways to give—allowing you to make an even bigger impact that costs you less.
Donating appreciated shares or currencies directly to Chicanos Por La Causa helps you save on two types of taxes: you can both eliminate your capital gains tax and claim an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the shares.

Leave a gift in your will or estate plan.
A gift to Chicanos Por La Causa in your will or trust is a simple way to make an impact that costs you nothing during your lifetime. You ensure your legacy lives on to empower lives— while maintaining access to your assets and the ability to change your mind.
As a donor, you choose how CPLC uses your gift. You can designate your gift to the program or issue you are most passionate about, or leave a gift in honor or memory of a friend or family member. Plus, your gift can reduce your estate taxes and provide a larger inheritance for your family.
If you've left a gift to CPLC in your will, contact us at give@cplc.org to let us know and become a member of the Terri Cruz Legacy Society.

Give from your IRA
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)—sometimes known as IRA Charitable Rollovers—are funds from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) that can be donated to a nonprofit organization without first recognizing it as income. If you are above the age of 70.5 and have a Traditional IRA, you are eligible to make a QCD.
QCDs reduce your taxable income and satisfy Required Minimum Distributions. Contact your IRA administrator to make a gift from your IRA to CPLC, and contact us at give@cplc.org to let us know if you have done so.
Make CPLC the beneficiary of your life insurance or retirement account
This flexible gift enables you to leave a legacy without using up cash or other assets designated for your heirs, and can provide an estate tax deduction.
To make a gift, contact your insurance provider or broker and ask for a beneficiary designation form. Complete the form, sign, and mail back to your provider or broker—and email us at give@cplc.org to let us know! By making this gift, you can become a member of the Terri Cruz Legacy Society.
