Donations

The Texas Surgical Society is a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN #23-7136006). All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

You can give online or by mail using the options below.  The Texas Surgical Society also gladly accepts the following gifts, which may offer additional tax advantages. 

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

Donating stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs that you have held for more than one year can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. You may be able to deduct the full fair market value of the shares and avoid paying capital gains tax on their appreciation. Please contact the Treasurer before initiating a transfer so we can provide transfer instructions and properly identify and acknowledge your gift.

IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

If you are age 70½ or older, you can direct a gift from your IRA straight to the Texas Surgical Society, up to the annual IRS limit. A QCD can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), and it is excluded from your taxable income. To make a QCD, ask your IRA custodian to send a check payable to “Texas Surgical Society” (EIN 23-7136006) to the mailing address below. Please let the Treasurer know when you request it, because custodians often don’t include the donor’s name.

Estate and Planned Gifts

You can also include the Texas Surgical Society in your will, trust, or as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy.

For any of these options, contact Patrick Nguyen, MD, Treasurer, at texassurgicalsocietytreasurer@gmail.com.
