Using Securities & Mutual Funds to Donate

Gifts of appreciated stock or mutual funds are a great way to give to SCLA. 

You are eligible for an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of securities you have owned more than one year—subject to the usual limitations—and capital gains taxes will be avoided on the sale of these assets.

How It Works:

You transfer appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year directly to SCLA. 

SCLA sells your securities and uses the proceeds to fund our mission activities.



Benefits:

You are eligible for an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer (even if you originally paid much less for them).
You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer or when the stock (or fund) is sold.
Giving appreciated stock or mutual fund shares can be more beneficial than giving cash. The "cost" of your gift can be less than the deduction you gain by making it.



Instructions:

To transfer your stock to SCLA send an email to SpiderChainOfLakes@gmail.com to: 
ATTN: Investment Committee Chair with the following information:

•  Your name and address (or that of donor)
•  Name of stock (mutual fund) to be transferred (and Ticker Symbol if Known)
•  # of shares of stock or mutual fund
• Please ALERT US THAT YOU HAVE INITIATED A GIFT, including THE NAME (and contact info) OF YOUR BROKER OR SENDING INSTITUTION,
  so we can follow up to ensure it arrives and receipt you promptly.

Instructions For Your Financial Institution:

  • For SCLA instructions to give to your broker or your mutual fund company, please send request to SpiderChainofLakes@gmail.com to: 
    ATTN: Investment Committee Chair. We will send you complete instructions. 
  • Consult your Tax Advisor if you have questions about how tax rules impact your securities donations to SCLA;  SCLA does not provide tax or legal advice.
  • The SCLA Brokerage Account is at Charles Schwab (DTC Clearing Number: 0164, code 40).  Call Charles Schwab Asset Transfer Services ask for help to transfer securities to the Spider Chain of Lakes Association, Corporate Brokerage Account.  Please notify SCLA of the transfer so we can track and send you a receipt.
