Give With Purpose. Reduce Your Tax Burden.

As the year draws to a close, many of our generous supporters are looking for ways to make a meaningful impact and maximize their tax benefits.

By making a tax-wise gift to Valerie’s House, you can help grieving children and families find hope and healing — all while supporting your financial goals.

Here are a few of the most effective ways to give:

1. Donate Appreciated Stocks or Securities

Giving appreciated assets such as stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs can be one of the smartest ways to give. When you transfer these directly to Valerie’s House, you can:

✅ Avoid capital gains taxes
✅ Receive a charitable income tax deduction
✅ Support our mission to ensure no child grieves alone

2. Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

If you’re 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a tax-free distribution from your IRA directly to Valerie’s House.
For those subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), this can be an excellent way to fulfill your requirement and make a lasting difference.

Always consult your tax advisor to discuss your personal situation.

3. Leave a Legacy of Compassion

Your thoughtful gift provides vital grief support to children and families who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a loved one.
Together, we offer hope, healing, and connection — one family at a time.

Act before December 31 to ensure your gift qualifies for 2025 tax benefits.

It’s a win-win: you can save on taxes while creating a lasting legacy of compassion and care.
