Using Your Resources Wisely
The world renowned statement “I am, because you are” profoundly reminds us that every good facet of our life today has been affected by the caring and vision of another
person. And Sanma is a channel through which you can impact another life, even another generation, with your generosity and compassion.
By using the benefits of the tax laws, your charitable gifts can help you reach your financial goals also. Sanma is a non-profit organization recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c) 3
entity. Contributions to Sanma are tax deductible as permitted by the law.
Gifts of Cash: This allows you to maximize your charitable deduction on the immediate term. Cash is the simplest donation and provides
immediate benefits. Gifts of cash include currency, personal checks, money orders, credit cards and wire transfers. The IRS allows you to claim charitable deductions for gifts of
cash up to 50% of your adjusted gross income.
To make a cash contribution to Sanma you give online, or call us at 1- 888-999-7997. To mail your check to our office, please use following address:

Appreciated securities
Contribution of appreciated stocks and bonds allows you to avail one of the best tax incentives available. When qualified charitable donations are made using
appreciated stocks, you are eligible to deduct the current value of the stocks rather than your actual cost. This allows you a larger tax break. Sanma will work with your broker to
make a gift of securities simple. When you need a larger tax break without a large cash contribution, the gift of appreciated stocks makes sense.
Real estate
Gifts of real estate also allow you to receive the full credit for the net market value of the property, entitling you for a higher deductibility than your
original cost. Gifts of appreciated real estate also allow you a larger tax break without a large cash contribution.
Retirement Account: Gifts of retirement accounts are subject to double taxation when given to a family member. Over 75% of
the account value may go to taxes, significantly diminishing the value of your gift. Contributing such accounts to qualified organizations enables you to maximize your impact. New
regulations have simplified the procedure to name organizations such as Sanma as beneficiary.
Business interests
A partnership, an interest in a business, shares of closely held stock, or a limited partnership share etc may have a relatively small investment to you, but may hold significant
value and tax advantages when transferred over to Sanma. Please obtain professional tax counsel and contact us to review the proposed gift by a professional in the field.
We are dedicated to help you fulfill your desire in investing to meaningful causes, and can assist you with your giving plans. However, we recommend that you obtain professional
counsel, and follow your heart’s direction as the base of your decision in giving. Thank you for your gift! They make eternal difference!
