Vehicle Donations
Donating a car to charity with our vehicle donation program is easy for you and helpful for non-profit organizations. We accept car, truck, boat, RV and land donations. These donations are very important to charities as these donations help the charity raise revenue. We can help you donate your car. Do your part to donate cars for others' assistance and we bet you will feel good about yourself, too. Call (702) 450-1528 or click here.
Planned Gifts
These are gifts through wills, life insurance, pooled income funds and charitible trusts. With a planned gift, you can always have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping others, but you could possibly have the added benefit of tax savings. The Southern Nevada Chapter can work with you to arrange the following kinds of planned gifts:
Bequest
You can name the Southern Nevada Chapter of the American Red Cross as a beneficiary in your will. You're free to designate the bequest by a specific amount, a percentage or some other manner. By naming a charity in your will, you control your assets during your lifetime and can reduce the death tax calculation on your estate.
Life Income Gift
You can transfer assets to the American Red Cross while retaining the right to use the assets during your lifetime. You are able to utilize this gift as a current income tax deduction.
Gift of Life Insurance
You can donate either paid-in-full or ongoing-payment life insurance policies to the local chapter to help support programs and services. This gift can be used as an income tax deduction.
Gift of Retirement Assets (IRA, 401k, etc.)
You can name the Southern Nevada Chapter as the beneficiary of your retirement plans. With this gift, you can avoid double taxation on your income and estate.
Pooled Income Fund
Your gift of money, marketable securities or both can be invested together with similar gifts from other supporters. The contribution can serve as an income tax deduction.
Charitable Lead Trust
You can create a trust so that income is annually provided, from cash or investments, to the local chapter for whatever number of years you desire. When the trust's term expires, the assets revert back to you. With the charitable lead trust you have the benefits of ownership and tax deduction.
Donations We Cannot Accept
We cannot accept contributions of food, clothing and furniture since our facility is not designed to store these items. Also, the Southern Nevada Chapter is not involved in any blood services. Please contact United Blood Services for more information on blood donations.
Thank You!
Your support, be it financial or through the gift of your time as a volunteer, is always appreciated by the Southern Nevada Chapter of the American Red Cross.
