Match a Gift: Many employers match gifts made by their employees, spouses or retirees to not-for-profit organizations. These programs double the impact of your gift. For more information contact your Human Resources department.
Make a Stock Donation: The advantage of a stock donation or gift of securities is that you, the donor, avoid paying capital gains tax on the market value appreciation of the shares. This tax benefit can reduce the cost of the gift when long or mid-term appreciated stock is donated. We’ll use the date the shares enter our account as the gift date and credit you with the market value for that date. Please consult your financial advisor for exact details and use our stock transfer instruction sheet to provide your financial advisor with important donation information.
Celebrate with an Honorary Gift: Celebrating special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, or just saying thank you, can be an opportunity to make a contribution honoring a family member, special friend, health care provider or the memory of someone dear.
Give a Memorial Gift: During a bereavement period, friends often see an appropriate means to express sympathy. A message in the obituary of a friend or family member provides an avenue to make a meaningful and thoughtful gift for a great cause.
