Gift of Stock

Using Stock to Reach Your Philanthropic Goals

If you are trying to reach a certain giving level, donating stock gives you the option to reach the goal without simply writing a check. For instance, achieving a $10,000 annual giving goal becomes easier by pairing a $5,000 cash gift with $5,000 in stock.

Increase Your Giving Power

A gift of appreciated stock to Vail Communities can benefit you in two ways:

• You receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities
• You may avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated stock. This helps stretch your gift even further.

Vail Communities encourages you to speak with your professional advisor or contact our development staff to discuss the option that is right for you.
