Appreciated Securities
Donating appreciated securities is a win-win for donors and charities, as this type of gift typically confers significant tax benefits (please be sure to consult a tax professional regarding your specific legal or tax situation):
- Long-term appreciated securities with unrealized gains may be donated to a public charity, after which the donor can take a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities—up to 30% of the donor’s adjusted gross income.
- Since the securities are donated rather than sold, capital gains taxes from selling the securities no longer apply. The more appreciation the securities have, the greater the tax savings may be.
If you would like to make a donation of Appreciated Securities, please contact Kristen, who can help you with your donation.
IRA Distributions
Donors can make a distribution directly from an IRA to Grayson without being taxed. Such gifts must be direct transfers from your IRA.
Corporate Matching Gifts
Increase your gift to The Grayson School by having your employer match your donation. Check to see if The Grayson School qualifies for matching funds from your workplace.
Foundations and Donor-Advised Funds
If you are affiliated with a foundation or have a donor-advised fund, please consider directing its support to The Grayson School.
