“I give [amount or percentage] to Carnegie Hill Neighbors, a nonprofit organization located in New York, NY, for its general purposes. EIN - 13-3300409"

Residuary Bequest 

“Residue” is a term to describe the portion of your estate that remains after all debts, expenses and specific bequests to others have first been fulfilled.

"All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate I give to Carnegie Hill Neighbors, located in New York, NY  Tax ID 13-3300409​, for its general purposes."​​

​

Contingent Bequest:

CHN can be named as a contingent beneficiary in your will or personal trust if one or more of your specific bequests cannot be fulfilled:

"If (insert name) is not living at the time of my demise, I give and devise to Carnegie Hill Neighbors [amount or percentage] to be used for its general purposes. NY Tax ID 13-3300409​"

Gifts of Stock and Appreciated Securities

Donating stock or other securities is a great way to support Carnegie Hill Neighbors without using cash - often with added tax benefits. When you transfer appreciated securities directly to CHN, you may avoid capital gains taxes and potentially receive an immediate income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the gift.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions​

A gift from your IRA can help you save on taxes—and help preserve the neighborhood you love. By making a contribution directly from your IRA to Carnegie Hill Neighbors, you can support programs that protect our community’s character, beauty, and safety—while potentially lowering your taxable income.

 

For those 70.5  years old and older: 

When you are 70½ years old or older, you are eligible to make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) directly from your taxable IRA account to a tax-exempt charity like Carnegie Hill Neighbors up to $108,000 annually.

​​

For those 73 years old and older: 

If you are 73 years old or older, the IRS generally requires a withdrawal from a traditional IRA each year, called a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). If you transfer all or part of your RMD directly from your IRA to a qualified charity like Carnegie Hill Neighbors, the amount that is transferred to CHN won't be considered taxable income.
