A gift of stock is a convenient way to support RMI’s work. If you wish to make a gift of restricted, closely held or other non-publicly traded securities, please contact us for instructions on what additional information may be needed. RMI can accept:

• Securities held in a brokerage account
• Securities registered in your name
• Mutual funds

A donation of closely held securities must be reviewed before acceptance to ensure that there are no restrictions or considerations that will prevent the Institute from converting assets to cash or that it will not generate undesirable tax consequences. Contact our development team by email, or call 303-567-8716 for our brokerage account information to transfer a gift of stock to RMI.

Consider making a QCD (Qualified Charitable Deduction) with your IRA RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) and/or including RMI as a beneficiary on your retirement accounts. You might also contemplate passing on other assets to your heirs and using retirement assets to support the work of RMI. We encourage you to speak with your financial advisor about the potential benefits of any of these options.

A simple way to make an impactful gift to RMI is to donate a life insurance policy. Consider buying a policy on your life for the benefit of RMI or designating RMI as a beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy. You will receive a charitable deduction based on the replacement value or your cost, whichever is less.

Do you own real estate that has appreciated over the years? Why not turn property gains into good? Donate a vacation home, rental properties, raw or undeveloped land, farmland, a personal residence, or commercially developed land to help drive a clean energy future. A gift of real estate to RMI will offer the opportunity to realize your charitable dreams while enjoying substantial tax and financial benefits. We encourage you to speak with your financial advisor about the potential benefits.

When you make a gift to RMI, you receive the full tax advantages available by law for gifts to public charities. Donors can avoid capital gains tax for gifts of appreciated assets, and donors’ estate tax liability may be reduced. We encourage you to speak with your financial advisor about the potential benefits.
