Gifts of Securities
Investment in our work helps all Chicago-area communities secure equal access to quality legal representation — regardless of income or background.
For many people, donating securities—stocks or mutual fund shares, for example—is an ideal way to maximize the impact of their charitable giving. By gifting shares directly to a charitable organization, the donor pays no capital gains taxes on their sale. The amount that would have been paid in taxes instead goes directly to support the organization’s work. Additionally, the donor receives a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities at the time of the transfer.
Donating appreciated property can be a tax savvy way to support access to justice in Chicagoland. Talk with your tax advisor. When you are ready to donate, you can either:
Call GCLC’s Development Officer, Kirston Fortune, at 312.726.2938 ext. 107.
