More Ways To Give Matching Gifts Programs Many companies offer matching gift programs that will double, and in some cases triple, the value of their employee's gifts. Some companies will even match gifts and/or volunteer hours made by retirees, spouses and/or children. Please contact your company's human resources department or search at http://matchfinderonline.blackbaud.com to determine if your company has a matching gift program and whether your gift to Reach Workcamps is eligible for a match. Stock Donations Donations of appreciated securities, usually common stock, provide a tax-efficient way of making your gift. Gifts of appreciated securities held for more than one year entitle you to a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of gift. Additionally, you avoid the capital gains tax that would otherwise be due on the appreciation if the security were sold. Your broker can transfer securities in a brokerage account directly to Reach Workcamps at Charles Schwab Bank (DTC #0164), account #8196-5448. You may transfer from any brokerage company, but if you use Charles Schwab, download their Charitable Gift Donation form. Please notify us before you initiate a stock transfer so we can identify your gift when it is received and acknowledge it in a timely manner. Note: Depreciated securities (securities worth less than you paid for them) should not be given directly to Reach Workcamps. Instead, you should sell the securities to generate a tax-deductible capital loss (which can offset your capital gains or up to $3,000 of ordinary income) and then give the sale proceeds to Reach Workcamps.For more information on gifts of appreciated securities, contact Mike Jones, Executive Director, at (888) 732-2492, or e-mail him at mjones@reachwc.org. Estate Giving / Wills / Life Insurance Plans Appreciated and depreciated property and other alternatives like retirement plan assets, wills, and/or life insurance plans are all planned giving options through Reach Workcamps. Planning ahead and planning carefully affords you the time to decide which charitable commitment will suit your goals and benefit you the most. Investing your time in planning may increase the amount of your gift and create more tax savings for you. Checking with your financial advisor can help you maximize your giving and saving as well. If you are interested in including Reach Workcamps in your will or estate plans, please contact Mike Jones, Executive Director, at (888) 732-2492, or e-mail him at mjones@reachwc.org. General Information All gifts made to Reach Workcamps are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Reach Workcamps does not share or sell donor/support information with any other institutions. |
