Matching Gifts

Donate Securities

Donating stock enables you to make a greater impact on a charity than selling it first, paying capital gains tax and donating the proceeds. AEF has established an endowment fund for stock donations to perpetuate your support for future generations of Alameda students. Our flyer shows you how it works.  Email info@AlamedaEducation.org for more information.

Donor Advised Fund

Give when you can; grant when it’s needed. Donor Advised Funds allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. Donors can contribute to the fund as frequently as they like, and then recommend grants to their favorite charities whenever it makes sense for them. Click here to learn more.

Use your Required Minimum Distribution from your Retirement Account

Did you know that at age 70 1/2 the IRS requires you to take distributions from your pre-tax retirement accounts?  This forces you to pay taxes on money you may not need. But you can avoid paying taxes by making a donation directly from your pre-tax retirement account to AEF.  Click here to learn more.
