If you itemize deductions on your federal income tax return, you may be able to deduct your contribution from your adjusted gross income AND avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the securities. If the stock has depreciated, it's best to sell it, deduct the investment loss, and give the proceeds to Sunrise. This way, you get a deduction for both the investment loss and the charitable gift. (Talk to your tax advisor for deduction, tax requirements and limitations.)
Double your donation at NO COST to you! Your company may have a matching gift program. Matching gift programs are a good way to maximize the impact of your gift. Many companies offer matching gift programs to their employees.
Here's how you can double your gift:
1. ASK: Ask your Human Resources department if your company participates in a matching gift program for charity.
2. COMPLETE: Print or request your company's matching gift form and submit it to your company's HR department.
3. SEND: Mail a copy of your request to Sunrise Children's Services and we'll do the rest.
Your donation helps us care for more than 500 abused and neglected children every day, 365 days a year. With your help, we can do more.
