Invest in Kids by Gifting Appreciated Securities

Donating appreciated securities provides a path for donors to support Kids Co. while reaping the tax benefit of avoiding capital gains taxes. The process is relatively simple. The fair market value of donated securities is determined on the day of their transfer to Kids Co. The donor receives an immediate donation credit and a tax-deduction for the full fair market value of the donated securities, no matter how much was originally paid for them. If this is a path you would like to pursue, contact Maria Thompson (mariat@kidscompany.org; 206/781-8062 x 21).
