Employer Matching
Did you know that many employers match funds donated by their employees? That means your $500 gift could become a $1,000 gift. Some companies will even donate for hours you’ve spent volunteering. Find out how you can best leverage your gift and help further our mission to give justice to homeless, low-income, and mentally disabled individuals who need their Social Security benefits.
Contact Angie Lafave, Development Director, at angie@benefitslawcenter.org to see if your employer matches donations or volunteer hours!
Gift of Stock
Giving a gift of publicly traded stock that has increased in value and that you have owned for more than one year may provide better tax benefits than giving cash. Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock and you avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock. You may also save on brokerage fees because you are transferring ownership rather than selling the stock.
