giving stocks and securities

Taking stock of your giving interests? Why not GIVE stocks and securities? By making a gift of stocks or securities to Youth Alternatives Ingraham, you help Maine's kids and families, and take advantage of favorable tax laws.

There are many advantages to giving stocks or securities that have been held for over a year:

• Help Youth Alternatives Ingraham advance safe, healthy, happy childhoods and positive family relationships for Maine's kids and families
• Reduce your income taxes. Your income tax deduction is based on the full market value of the shares of stock on the date the stock is donated.
• Avoid paying capital gains tax. You are not selling your stock; you are giving it to Youth Alternatives Ingraham, an organization exempt from capital gains tax when we sell the stock.

Please contact the Youth Alternatives Ingraham Development Office for additional information on giving stocks and securities, at 207 523 5030.
