You can make your contributions to IHC and/or any of our funds with a gift from a donor-advised fund or charitable gift fund. For more information, please contact Executive Director or call us at 317.255.6647.

You can make your donation by the transfer of securities from your brokerage account into the account maintained by IHC specifically to receive contributions of stock. This method may be particularly advantageous to you if your portfolio contains highly-appreciated securities you have owned for at least a year. Instead of selling these assets and incurring a tax on the capital gains, consider donating them to IHC. Under current tax rules, such gifts receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities on the date of your gift and do not incur tax on any gain. Be sure to consult your legal and tax advisors regarding the applicability to your individual situation. For additional information, please contact us at Executive Director or call us at 317.255.6647
