Gifts of Stock, Bonds, Mutual Funds
Making gifts of stock, bonds or mutual funds is a great way to support Tripura Foundation, and may provide you with significant tax savings. Each situation is unique, so be sure to consult your broker or financial advisor before making your donation. Generally, there are two approaches to donating stocks, bonds and mutual funds:
- Appreciated Assets: When you donate assets that have increased in value, you can benefit in two ways. You'll avoid capital gains tax on the profit you've made, plus the fair market value of your gift can be counted as a deductible charitable donation. The way to do this is to transfer these assets directly to Tripura Foundation, which can be easily done through your broker or financial advisor.
- Depreciated Assets: You can also donate stocks, bonds or mutual funds that have decreased in value, though it's handled differently. To receive the maximum tax credit, you should sell the assets first then donate the proceeds to Tripura. That way you can claim a loss on the sale of the assets while counting the gift as a deductible charitable donation.
To make a stock gift to Tripura Foundation, please follow this two-step process:
- Complete our Stock Donation Form and fax it back to us at 412-828-0911. This will ensure we have the necessary information to properly acknowledge and credit your gift.
- Notify Tripura Foundation of the stock transfer by contacting Marybeth Cunningham, Controller, at 888-241-7337 or donate@tripurafoundation.org.
Payroll Deduction
Payroll deductions are another way you can donate to Tripura Foundation through your workplace. Gifts made this way can be either a one-time or an ongoing gift. Please check with your employer to see about arranging to make donations through payroll deductions.
Frequent Flyer Miles
With more ways than ever before to accumulate air miles, many people find they can't possibly use all the frequent flyer miles in their account. Now there's a way to put those miles to good use - you can donate them to Tripura! Your donated air miles help reduce the high cost of travel for our program staff. Reducing our travel costs allows us to put more money into the programs and services that you support.
Please note: Donations of frequent flyer miles must be enough for roundtrip travel within the United States (25,000 air miles) or for travel to one of our international programs. To donate your air miles to Tripura Foundation, please contact Marybeth Cunningham at 888-241-7337 or send an email to donate@tripurafoundation.org.
