Keeping Children Connected to Clinical Support During COVID-19

Gifts of Stock

Gifts of stock and bonds can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. Gifts in the form of incentive stock options or regular investment holdings allow the donor to deduct the full fair market value of the stock as a charitable contribution, while bypassing all capital gains taxes (to qualify you must own your stock for more than one year). Securities may be donated by transferring them directly into The Friends of Green Chimneys account.

Valuation

The value of your gift is calculated by using an average of the high and low prices of the security on the date that it enters our account. This date is included in our thank you letter. This letter can then be used as proof of your donation for tax purposes.

Privacy Statement

Our broker cannot obtain any of your account information. Your information is kept strictly confidential to protect your privacy.

Ziggy

Jacob sheep are small, horned, black and white sheep which the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy has listed the North American population as a conservation priority. The breed produces a medium fleece which is sought after by hand spinners. Ziggy and her twin sister Rita were born in 2008 and are among a small herd of Jacobs that live at Green Chimneys. From gentle sheep, children learn valuable life lessons in kindness, patience, consistency and love.
