Stock, Donor-Advised Funds, and IRAs
Support the animals with a generous gift that will help us continue our lifesaving work.
Donor-Advised Funds
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. Our online DAF tool automatically links with your DAF, which allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies Pasado’s Safe Haven of your intentions. It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for your immediate needs. Learn more and give from your DAF today.
Making a gift from an IRA
Many donors who are over 70 ½ years old choose to make a gift to support Pasado’s Safe Haven’s work through a qualified charitable distribution directly from their IRA account. If you are 72 years old or older, these gifts can even count towards fulfilling your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the calendar year.
You can use our online tool to make your tax-free donation online, print out the forms you need to complete the gift offline, or learn more about the benefits of giving from your IRA. Learn more about IRA donations here.

Stock Donation
Making a gift of appreciated securities held for more than a year can provide you with a tax benefit while supporting our lifesaving work. When you give securities, you receive a tax deductible donation for the market value of the stock the day you donated it, and you (and Pasado’s Safe Haven) won’t owe any capital gains taxes.
If you would like to transfer your appreciated stocks online, you can use our online tool to walk you through the process in less than 5 minutes.
