Ways to Give to Pinnacle Living

Your generosity goes a long way in providing financial support for our many initiatives, continuing education for team members and support of community members.
‍
Most notably, our Samaritan Program has provided benevolent support in Pinnacle Living communities since our founding in 1948. The Samaritan Program provides security for our most vulnerable residents.

In addition, there are nine other funds to support that are equally important to fulfilling our mission. When making your tax-deductible contribution, you can support the fund that means the most to you.

Transfer Stocks or Securities



Donating stocks, bonds or other securities allows you to support Pinnacle Living while potentially receiving significant tax benefits. Making a tax-advantaged gift by donating stock is quick and easy. The deduction amount is based on the stock’s fair market value on the date of the share’s transfer. The average high and low prices on that day determine fair market value.

To complete a donation of stock or securities, you will first need to contact your broker to transfer your shares to Charles Schwab & Company. You will need the following information to complete the transfer:

Name: Virginia United Methodist Homes DBA Pinnacle Living – Stock
DTC Clearing #: 0164, Code 40
Donation Account #: 2141-8429

When you have initiated the transfer, notify the Philanthropy Office at 804 474 8724 or by email at cwickham@pinnacleliving.org. Due to privacy concerns, Charles Schwab will not share your identity when notifying us about your stock donation. You must tell us directly so we can send your tax receipt letter and confirm that the stock was transferred.

Transfer From an IRA



How does the Charitable IRA work?
If you are 70 and a half years or older, you can give up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to nonprofit organizations such as Pinnacle Living. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions. If you have yet to take your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.

You can also make Pinnacle Living the beneficiary of your IRA. For more information, contact Charles Wickham, Director of Donor Development, at 804 474 8724 or by email at cwickham@pinnacleliving.org.

Corporate Matching



If you work for or are retired from a company that offers corporate matching, you can double or even triple your gift to Pinnacle Living. Call your Human Resources department to inquire. If your company matches gifts, sign and mail the matching gift form to:
