Gifts of stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares can be an economical way for you to make a donation to Edgewood. You may realize significant tax benefits by donating stocks or securities in lieu of making a cash contribution. We encourage you to consult with a financial advisor or tax accountant prior to making a donation of this type.

Benefits of making a stock or securities contribution include:

• Avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of your stock.

• Receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of your gift if you have held the assets for at least one year.

• Make a larger gift at a lower cost to you.

If you have any questions or want to arrange for a transfer, please contact the Development Department at 415-682-3200 or at donations@edgewood.org.
