The Cato Institute is pleased to offer you an overview of some popular charitable‐​giving devices. These devices can offer powerful tax advantages and make it easier for you to channel your wealth to family, friends, and the causes that are most important to you … rather than to the IRS.

Keep in mind, of course, that although Cato looks forward to helping you find the best giving vehicles to suit your needs, the following descriptions are not exhaustive and are in no way intended to replace advice from your own accountant or attorney.

There are many options if you are considering supporting Cato, including gifts anyone can make, gifts that pay you income, and gifts that protect your assets.

“Attaining a 4‐​star rating verifies that Cato Institute exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in your area of work.”
