Stocks & Wire Transfers

HOW IT WORKS:

Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is one of the most effective means of tax savings available and is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to the Athens YMCA. Contact Jacqueline Shirley at jacqueline@athensymca.org for our account information and steps on donating stocks or wire transfers. 

WHY CONSIDER THIS GIFT:

• See your gift put to use during your lifetime
• Avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated stock that has been held for more than one year
• Receive a charitable income tax deduction for the fair-market-value of the stock at the time of the gift
