Gift of Securities

Appreciated stock (held more than one year) makes an excellent gift. You avoid all capital gain taxes (generally 15% of the appreciation) and will receive a charitable tax deduction for the stock's market value at the time of transfer. Please contact the Foundation Office 303-688-7638 and inform us of when your broker will transfer the gift. It is important to know the name of the stock, the number of shares, and approximate value of the contribution as well as the name and phone number of your broker. Gifts of Stocks will be liquidated within one business day of receipt. The Foundation will send you written acknowledgement for your tax records for the value of your donation on the day it was transferred to our account.
