    Stocks and Securities

  • Stocks and Securities

    Stocks or other investments that have grown in value can become a substantial gift made at a low net cost to you. A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a two-fold tax savings. First, you avoid paying any capital gains tax on the increase in value of the stock. Second, you receive an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift. In order to do this, your stock generally must have been held for more than one year.

    Please call John Baldi at 516.365.4900 for instructions on donating securities, or email JBaldi@vincentsmithschool.org.

  • Gifts in Memory or Honor of Others

    Making a gift in memory of or in honor of a special person is a wonderful way to recognize the important role that others have played in our lives. When making such a gift, please provide the name of the person being remembered, and please also let us know if an acknowledgment card should be sent to a specific person.

  • Matching Gifts

    Hundreds of employers will match their employees' charitable contributions, thus enabling many individuals to double the value of their gift. Check with your employer's Human Resource Department to determine the availability of such a program. If so, simply enclose your employer's matching gift form along with your gift.
All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
