Giving in thoughtful, practical ways can help you make a bigger difference while supporting your own financial goals. Gifts of appreciated securities—such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds—may offer meaningful tax advantages, particularly for assets held long term.

Because privacy rules often prevent financial institutions from sharing a donor's name, please let us know if you plan to give this way so we can acknowledge your generosity properly. We'll happily provide the details your broker needs.

Tax benefits depend on your individual situation and current law, so we encourage you to consult your financial or tax advisor. To get started or request transfer instructions, please contact Jacqueline Ferrigno Brown at jacqueline@pathwaysearlyeducation.org or 239.261.1774.

If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to Pathways Early Education Center. A QCD may help support our mission while allowing an eligible donor to exclude the qualifying distribution from taxable income, subject to applicable federal tax rules.

A QCD may also count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. Eligibility, annual limits, and other requirements apply. The distribution must be made directly from your IRA custodian to an eligible charitable organization, and a QCD excluded from income is not also eligible for a charitable deduction.

To explore this option, please provide your financial institution with the following information and confirm the transfer requirements with your IRA custodian:

Legal Name: Pathways Early Education Center of Immokalee Inc.
Address: 4060 Tamiami Trail North, Unit 5, Naples, FL 34103
EIN: 59-1209842

Please consult your IRA custodian or tax adviser to confirm your eligibility and the appropriate procedure for making a QCD.

A donor-advised fund offers a convenient way to support Pathways Early Education Center and other charitable organizations over time. After contributing assets to a donor-advised fund, you may recommend grants to eligible charities according to the sponsoring organization's policies.

You may also wish to explore whether your donor-advised fund offers options for continuing your charitable giving beyond your lifetime. Some sponsoring organizations allow donors to designate successor advisers or recommend charitable beneficiaries, subject to the fund's terms and policies.

Please consult your donor-advised fund sponsor and your financial or tax adviser to understand the applicable rules and options.

To learn more or to let us know that you have recommended a grant to Pathways, please contact Jacqueline Ferrigno Brown at jacqueline@pathwaysearlyeducation.org or 239.261.1774.

Make a Dedication

Thoughtful estate planning can help ensure that your charitable intentions are carried out and create a lasting legacy for future generations of learners at Pathways Early Education Center of Immokalee. A planned gift to Pathways may be one way to reflect your values and support our mission for years to come.

Options to explore with your legal, financial, and tax advisers include:

• A bequest: Naming Pathways in your will or trust.
• A beneficiary designation: Naming Pathways as a beneficiary of an eligible retirement account or life insurance policy..
• A charitable remainder trust: Establishing a trust that may provide income to designated beneficiaries for a specified period or for life, with the remaining assets distributed to charity according to the trust's terms..

The tax, estate-planning, and financial implications of these arrangements vary based on the type of gift and your individual circumstances. We encourage you to consult your professional advisers to determine the approach that best fits your goals.

We would be honored to discuss ways to support Pathways' mission through your legacy.

To discuss a potential gift, please contact Jacqueline Ferrigno Brown at jacqueline@pathwaysearlyeducation.org or 239.261.1774.

Your employer may be able to double your impact. Many employers match charitable gifts from employees and retirees, often dollar for dollar, up to an annual maximum—and sometimes even more.

It's an easy way to make your generosity go further. Check to see if your company offers a matching gift program.
