HOW TO HELP

Personal Solicitations

The Gene Therapy Institute for Hispanic Medical Research volunteer board members meet in-person with you or donor prospects to obtain financial support. The Gene Therapy Institute expects that personal solicitations will be the most successful way to obtain financial help for our medical research programs.

It works as follows:
  1. Your business or company can donate cash and valuable assets to a Gene Therapy Institute.
  2. You can capitalize on your charitable tax deduction by giving cash donations. Cash is the easiest donation and offers benefits immediately.
The benefits of using cash donations and assets:
  1. You are allowed to a charitable income tax deduction.
  2. This tax deduction adds up against a larger portion of donor taxable income than with a donation of appreciated assets.
  3. The IRS allows you to receive charitable tax deductions for cash donations up to 50% of your adjusted gross income but only 30% for donations of appreciated assets.
  4. You will be eligible for gift and estate tax deduction on the present value of assets transferred from the annuity payments to the Gene Therapy Institute.
  5. You can use their available estate tax credit ($2.0 million per person in 2007) to further reduce taxes on transfers.
  6. You can enjoy the satisfaction of making a noteworthy donation to the Gene Therapy Institute.
