To give through a Donor Advised Fund, simply instruct your DAF to make a grant to Aruna EIN #47-1266446 (see address below, if needed).

Giving appreciated stock and mutual funds can be one of the most tax-advantaged ways to accelerate the freedom process.

By gifting shares directly (rather than selling) to Aruna, investors can avoid capital gains on the appreciated stock or mutual funds and deduct the full fair market value as a charitable contribution.

For donors looking to rebalance their portfolios or manage concentrated positions, donating shares of highly appreciated securities provides a tax-smart way to bring the portfolio back into alignment with target allocations.

If you are 70 ½ years or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to Aruna and avoid paying taxes on the distribution.

Qualified Charitable Distributions are distributions sent directly from your IRA to charities such as Aruna and count toward your RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) if you are 73 or older. The annual limit for 2025 is $108,000.

To make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Aruna, direct the custodian of your IRA to send a check made payable to "Aruna Project" at the following address:

Aruna Project
316 W 4th Street, 3rd floor,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

To leave a legacy of liberty and impact, you can donate to Aruna through a bequest in your will or living trust, or by listing Aruna as a beneficiary of your IRA or life insurance policy.

For wills and trusts, the amount you intend to donate can be expressed as a specific dollar value or a percentage of your estate. For IRAs and life insurance policies, the amount you intend to donate can be expressed as a percentage of the IRA account or insurance policy proceeds.
