Ways to Give
Donate securities
Many donors prefer to give appreciated securities directly to The Foundation rather than sell them and donate their proceeds, as this allows for certain tax benefits. If you own securities that have lost value, you can sell the stock, take the capital loss deduction, and make a gift to support the community colleges.
Whether your stocks are held by yourself or are kept with a bank/broker, it is important that you notify The Foundation in advance of making a gift of securities. This will help to ensure that proper crediting and timely acknowledgement take place.
