Embrace the brave 2025 Corporate Sponsorship Levels

 Contributing to Embrace the Brave is not just an opportunity to support a cause you care about—it can also be a financially savvy way to give. By donating appreciated securities or making contributions directly from your IRA, you can maximize the impact of your support while enjoying significant tax benefits. 

 One of the most tax-efficient ways to contribute is by donating appreciated securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, that you’ve held for over a year. When you donate these assets directly to Embrace the Brave, you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation. Additionally, you may receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities at the time of the donation. This dual benefit allows you to give more while keeping more of your own money working for you. 

 If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA directly to Embrace the Brave. By doing so, you can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD) without it being considered taxable income. This means you can support our mission while reducing your taxable income—a win-win for you and the cause you care about. 

 Your contributions to Embrace the Brave go directly toward empowering individuals and communities to overcome challenges and embrace new opportunities. By leveraging these smart giving strategies, you can maximize your impact while minimizing your tax burden.
