Major Gifts

Stock Giving

If you are considering a major gift to 1000 Friends, making your donation with appreciated stocks or mutual fund shares offers tremendous tax advantages. It's simple, efficient and can allow you to give more that you thought possible.

If you donate your securities directly to 1000 Friends, you avoid paying capital gains on the profit you've gained - and you receive a full tax deduction for the value of your gift.

This makes a stock gift much more tax-wise than a cash gift. Many donors find they can make much larger gifts than they previously thought possible.

Making the gift is easy. Just use the information below to transfer the funds to our brokerage account.

Please remember to notify 1000 Friends of Oregon of your gift of stock as your broker is not allowed to divulge the name of the donor. If you have any questions, please contact Lori Meadows by e-mail or call her at 503.497.1000.

Leaving a Legacy

The things you cherish today about a life lived in Oregon--
* vibrant communities
* productive farm and forest lands
* protected coastal and natural areas

Writing 1000 Friends of Oregon into your will or estate plan can honor your dedication to our state's special way of life and provide an opportunity for savings on capital gains and estate taxes. 1000 Friends is happy to work with you and your advisors to create a plan that meets your goals.

We would also be pleased to honor you as a member of our Legacy Club, for people like you who have planned a gift to help keep Oregon, Oregon for generations to come. For more information, contact Lori Meadows by e-mail or call her at 503.497.1000.
