Ways to make a Gift

Ways to Make a Gift

There are multiple ways to contribute to the Arts Ascend campaign and become one of our Milestone Donors. Contact us if you would like to learn more.

Make a one-time gift of cash.  You can always donate a cash gift of any amount. It’s easy to do so online by visiting our website and using a credit or debit card. If you prefer, you can mail a check to Cambria Center for the Arts, PO Box 184, Cambria, CA 93428, or stop by our reception desk.

Commit to a monthly gift. Suggested monthly donations are based on a 30-month giving cycle with automated donations. All donors can access a personal CCA account to change or cancel their automated donations at any time. Donors will have a complementary CCA membership throughout their donation period.

Donate appreciated assets. Giving stock is a simple and powerful way to support the CCA arts programs. It also offers you financial benefits:

  • You can easily donate appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
  • The total value of the stock upon transfer may be tax-deductible.
  • There is no obligation to pay any capital gains taxes on the appreciation.

Note: Individual situations vary, so donors should consult their financial advisors. Such donations will be coordinated through our financial advisor at Edward Jones.

Make a qualified charitable contribution from your IRA.  Why consider this type of gift:

  • You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you may reduce your annual tax burden.
  • Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution.
  • Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security subject to tax.

Remember us in your will or trust. If you would like to talk to us more about options for making planned gift or estate commitments as part of your legacy to this community, please contact us.
