Make a Gift of Stock

• Making a gift of stocks or mutual funds to us offers you the chance to support The Jewish Federation of Ulster County realizing important benefits for yourself.
• Securities that have increased in value and been held for more than one year are one of the most popular assets to use when making a gift to charity.
• Gifts of appreciated securities are generally more cost effective than gifts of cash. A gift of stock with a long-term gain entitles you, the donor, to a charitable deduction for the full current market value and is exempt from any capital gains tax.

How It Works

• You can send unendorsed stock certificates by registered mail or instruct your broker to make the transfer from your brokerage account to our account.
  • If you send a stock certificate that is in your name, please include a letter indicating the purpose of the gift. Under separate cover, provide a signed stock power form for each security you contribute.
• You will receive a federal income-tax deduction for the full market value of the securities.
• You avoid long-term capital-gain tax on any appreciation in the value of the stock.
• The Jewish Federation sells the securities and applies the proceeds to help a cause that you care about.
