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.

Dog

Meet Shelby! As a member of the Green Chimneys Dog Interaction Program, dogs like Shelby come to us from a partner shelter for socialization. The relationship between these dogs and our students is symbiotic: the dogs get lots of attention and exercise, while our students learn patience, responsibility, and empathy. Shelby has a special place in our hearts because she was the 100th dog to pass through the Dog Interaction Program, and was quickly adopted into her forever home.
