Give new household items

UP welcomes household-item donations. Because of participants’ experiences, donated household items should be brand new. After years of receiving hand-me-downs, having something completely their own can matter.

Planned & non-cash giving

There is more than one way to create lasting impact.

The options below are general summaries, not tax or legal advice. Donors should consult their own tax, legal, and financial advisors about their situation.

Cash, ACH & Wire

Cash gifts may be made by check, ACH transfer, or wire transfer from your bank.

Appreciated Stock

Gifts of appreciated stock held one year or longer may allow donors to avoid capital gains while supporting UP.

Real Estate

Donors may consider outright gifts of real estate or a retained life estate arrangement.

Bequests

A gift through a will can include cash, securities, real estate, personal property, a percentage of an estate, or a contingent amount.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

A CRT can provide income to a donor or beneficiary for life or a term of years, with the remaining principal later supporting UP.

Mineral Royalties

UP can accept certain oil and gas mineral interests, royalty interests, and overriding royalty interests. Working interests are not accepted.

Life Insurance

Donors may name Unlimited Potential as a beneficiary or, in some cases, transfer ownership of a policy.

Retirement Plans

Unlimited Potential may be named as a primary or contingent beneficiary of qualified retirement-plan assets.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions

Eligible donors may be able to direct IRA distributions straight to a qualified nonprofit. Current limits and eligibility rules should be confirmed with a financial or tax advisor.
