Other Ways to Give

There are many ways to help enable the Bert Nash Center to expand our reach, enhance program initiatives, and develop innovative approaches to address the evolving needs of those facing behavioral health challenges. Through these alternative giving options, donors become instrumental in responding to needs, restoring lives, and building a healthy community.

You can help stock the shelves of the Treatment & Recovery Center’s clothing pantry or fill therapy offices with resources by sending items directly to the us by visiting our wish list.

OUR WISH LIST

You can ensure no one has to face a barrier to affordable and accessible behavioral healthcare by giving through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). A DAF is a charitable giving vehicle that allows donors to contribute, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to their favorite charitable organizations – like the Bert Nash Center!

How to give through a Donor-Advised Fund:

Recommend a grant
Set up recurring grants
Name Bert Nash Center as the beneficiary of your DAF

For answers to specific questions about your personal accounts, please contact your financial advisor. For more information or to let us know you have contributed through your Donor-Advised Fund, please contact Emily Farley, Chief Advancement Officer, at efarley@bertnash.org or 785-830-1745.

One of the most powerful ways to support the Bert Nash Center is by creating your legacy in your will or Revocable Living Trust. It is a gift that costs nothing today but can have a dramatic effect on the future of the Bert Nash Center and our community.

To start your legacy today, we invite you to use FreeWill, a free, online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will in just 20 minutes. It is free, no matter what, and can be used with an attorney to finalize your estate plans. It’s important to note that the Bert Nash Center nor FreeWill provides tax or legal advice. If you have questions or concerns regarding how this tool may be used to achieve your specific planning objectives, we recommend that you contact a qualified attorney.

Organize & Name Beneficiaries

A QCD has the following requirements:

You must be at least 70½ years old at the time you request a QCD.
For a QCD to count toward your current year’s Required Minimum Distributions (RMD), the funds must come out of your IRA by your RMD deadline, which is generally December 31.
Funds must be transferred directly from your IRA by requesting your IRA custodian to issue a check from your IRA payable to the charity. You can then request that the check be mailed to the charity or forward the check yourself. If a distribution check is made payable to you, the distribution would NOT qualify as a QCD and would be treated as taxable income.

For answers to specific questions about your IRA distributions, please contact your financial advisor. To let us know you have contributed through an IRA distribution, contact Emily Farley, Chief Advancement Officer at efarley@bertnash.org or 785-830-1745.

If you are at least 70½ years old, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA of up to $100,000 per year. Amounts distributed as a QCD can be excluded from your taxable income.

Your gift of stock can help create a path for a child, family, or adult to receive support and resources to navigate a their journey to mental wellness. When gifting appreciated securities, you could make your dollars go further than cash and receive tax benefits!

Please contact your financial advisor for questions about tax benefits and your personal accounts. For more information on how your stock transfer supports Bert Nash Center, please contact Emily Farley, Chief Advancement Officer, at efarley@bertnash.org or 785-830-1745.
