Gifts

We are very excited about the opportunity that we have to leave a lasting “Osteopathic” imprint in our community through our Community Grant Program and Osteopathic Medical Student Scholarship Program. Both programs are equally important in our effort to positively impact the health of our community. Our grant program assists other health and human service nonprofit organizations achieve their goals to make our community healthier. Our Osteopathic Medical Student Scholarship Program will help ensure access to Osteopathic Medicine in Colorado for generations to come. While Osteopathic Medicine has a presence in our community, with these programs and your support, Osteopathic Medicine will become more prominent and have a lasting legacy.

Gifts to the Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation are an investment in our future and the future of our community.

As a private non-operating foundation, individuals who make a contribution to the Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation MAY deduct contributions representing up to 30% of their adjusted gross income. Corporations may deduct up to an amount normally equal to 10% of their taxable income.

Gifts of any amount are appreciated. Thank you!

How to Support CSOF

There are a variety of ways to help CSOF. As a donor you MAY realize tax benefits while enjoying the personal satisfaction of supporting the Foundation:

Bequest

A carefully prepared estate plan or will is the best way to ensure that your loved ones are provided for after your death, and that your preferred charities are supported as you intended.

Cash, Checks

Making a gift of cash is one of the fastest and easiest ways to support CSOF.

IRAs

If you are required to take a required minimum distribution from your IRA and you plan to give to charity, you might want to contribute to charity through your IRA to save on income taxes if you are over age 72. Even if you don’t itemize deductions you still benefit from this strategy.

Marketable Securities

A gift of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is often the most economic way to give.

Personal Property or Real Estate

A gift of real estate may be a principal residence or vacation residence, a farm, a commercial building, subdivision lots or unimproved land. The gift may be the entire property or a fractional interest in the property.
