Donating Stock to
St. Francis Community Center
Are you interested in making a charitable gift that may offer meaningful tax advantages and deepen your impact on our community? A gift of appreciated stock could be a great option for you.
Why consider a gift of stock?
A gift of stock can sometimes be more beneficial than a cash gift. By donating appreciated securities directly, you may:
Support St. Francis Community Center in a significant way,
Potentially reduce taxes related to investment gains, and
Possibly receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock (if you’ve held it for more than one year).
A stock gift may be especially attractive if:
You hold investments that have grown in value. Rather than selling those shares and facing a larger tax bill, you can use them to make a charitable gift that may be more tax-efficient.
You’d like to make a larger gift while preserving your cash. Donating stock allows you to keep your cash on hand while still making a generous contribution that may qualify for a charitable tax deduction.
Your gift of appreciated stock to St. Francis Community Center helps sustain vital programs and services for individuals and families in our community. We are deeply grateful for your generosity.
How to Initiate a Stock Gift
Once you complete the information below, you’ll receive a personalized letter that you can print or email directly to your broker to begin the stock transfer.
This letter provides your broker with all the details needed to process the transfer on your behalf. It also notifies St. Francis Community Center that your generous gift is on its way, ensuring we can properly acknowledge your contribution and send you a tax receipt for your records.
