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.
