Securities and Real Estate

You can donate stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate to Amazon Relief. These types of donations may have certain tax benefits for a donor. Normally when you sell appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate, a capital gains tax is due. However, you may be able to avoid this tax and obtain a tax deduction for the full value of the property by donating it to Amazon Relief.

Life Insurance

When you name Amazon Relief as owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy you may be able to receive a tax deduction for the value of the policy. Alternately, you can name Amazon Relief as a secondary beneficiary for a life insurance policy. For example, you may wish to provide for a surviving spouse. However, if your spouse predeceases you, then Amazon Relief would receive the proceeds.

Beneficiary of Your Will

Amazon Relief can be named as a beneficiary in your Will. It can be given a designated amount, or a percentage of your estate, or part or all of the residue of your estate. All donations made to Amazon Relief are deductible from your estate for Federal Estate Tax purposes.
