Donating appreciated securities can provide a tax advantage by avoiding capital gains taxes and offering a deduction based on the current market value. 

You can donate property like land or buildings, potentially receiving a tax deduction and avoiding capital gains taxes on the sale. 

Donating a life insurance policy to the foundation can provide a tax deduction for the policy's cash value and allow the proceeds to pass to the foundation tax-free at your death. 

Community foundations may also accept gifts of personal property, closely held stock, or other assets
