If you’re used to a process, it’s a common mental block when it comes to doing something a different way. If you think that’s an easy hurdle to clear, brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand this evening for a fun spin on an old classic. Not so easy anymore.

It’s a common misconception that donations need to be made in cash, or “liquid” assets. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Charitable organizations accept donations of all kinds of assets, not just liquid ones. Stocks, bonds, annuities, and property are only four of the other types of assets that are commonly donated. You can create a win-win-win for you, your client, and your organization when you consider other possibilities for donations.
