A gift of publicly traded securities could be right for you if: you own publicly traded securities for at least one year, those securities have increased in value; or may provide you with little or no income. You can save income tax and capital gains tax when you give shares of a publicly traded security that you have owned for a year or more.
MATCHING GIFTS
Matching gifts are one of the most effective ways to deepen the impact of your generosity, extending the reach of every dollar you donate. Many companies champion philanthropy by matching charitable gifts made by their employees, retirees, and even spouses. If your employer offers a matching gift program, your contribution to the Los Angeles Master Chorale could be doubled at no additional cost to you. To learn whether your company participates in a matching gift program, contact your employer’s Human Resources or Corporate Giving department for details and instructions.
