stock donations
“For it is in giving that we receive.” Francis of Assisi
Give the gift of education to children living in rural Guatemala. Through a gift of 5 shares of stock, you will be making an investment into the future of children by providing access to education. The entire value of the equity you donate will be used to support education of children, and you avoid potentially costly capital gains taxes.
It’s simple and easy. When you donate stock to charity, you do not feel the impact from your personal cash accounts. In addition, you are allowed a tax deduction at the current market value of your gift, and you may potentially avoid costly capital gains.
The financial impact to a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, like WIND, is immediate. Your stock will be sold and converted to cash to be used to meet the needs of the children and school. Your gift will have an immediate transforming impact!
How to donate stock to WIND:
Contact your broker and transfer stock to the WIND of God account at Ameritrade: Account 46696019, DTC 0188.
Notify Maurina Rice by email at Maurina.WIND@gmail.com of the company and number of shares given.
A letter acknowledging the receipt of the stock will be sent to you. Wait until you get this letter before you do your taxes, or your deduction may be disallowed.
Note: Of course, 5 shares is only a suggested quantity. Every gift is a blessing to the children and school.
