Donations of Stock

Instead of giving cash, people with investments in stocks, bonds, and other securities they’ve held for at least one year can donate those that have appreciated in value. This will result in significant income-tax savings. In fact, donating stock saves even more taxes than donating cash, since there is no capital gains tax when appreciated securities are given to a nonprofit (learn more). If you wish to contribute in this way, please notify our office at (914) 238-8384 so we may recognize your donation. To initiate a transfer contact your broker.
