Gifts of Stock
We recognize that not everyone committed to conservation has cash to invest in that committment. One of the most advantageous ways to contribute to Gathering Waters is through a gift of stock.
Making a gift of securites offers a number of valuable financial benefits:
- You can donate appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds
- The total value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible
- You may avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated shares you donate
Members interested in donating appreciated stock should consult their financial advisor and contact our office to define the details of their gift. If you have designated shares to be gifted to Gathering Waters, please let us know.
For more information on how to arrange a gift of stock, contact Sara Dekok, Member Relations Director. 608-251-9131 x 10 or sara[at]gatheringwaters.org.
