Just as an acorn becomes a mighty oak, your contributions today will take root and support our community for generations offering this powerful spiritual teaching. Giving is how we grow together.
Every dollar given to the Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living is valued and invested wisely to support our mission. Explore the many ways you may contribute to the Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living’s shared vision of sustainability and growth:
Gifts through your IRA account
If you have a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), donating directly from your IRA may lower your taxable income.
Gifts of Stock and Appreciated Securities
Instead of cash, you may use appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual fund shares to make a gift. You may be able to claim a federal income tax charitable deduction for the full appreciated value of the securities and may avoid paying any capital gains tax on the transaction. Your funds would be electronically transferred.
Donor Advised Fund Gifts
If you have a donor advised fund (DAF), you may give a distribution from it to RBCSL, making it part of your charitable giving plan.
Monthly Giving
Some people prefer to give monthly and have set up an automatic monthly offering through our donation platform.
IRA Beneficiary
Consider adding RBCSL as one of your beneficiaries to your IRA account(s). Keep in mind, if you designate a family member, or another person, they may be taxed on the inherited money and in some cases required to withdraw the full amount in a specific number of years.
Bequests
Consider creating a lasting impact by adding RBCSL to your will or trust. It is flexible as you may designate a specific amount or asset, a percentage of your estate, or what is left in your estate after other obligations have been met. It’s easy to change if your goals or circumstances change. Additionally, you may designate your gift to support a specific program or project.
Life Insurance
If you have an existing life insurance policy, naming RBCSL as owner and/or beneficiary may allow your ultimate gift to be far greater than your original investment in the policy.
