Gift of Securities
A thoughtful and easy way to show your support
A gift of securities is a thoughtful and easy way to show your support to IDRF’s mission in saving lives and rebuilding communities.
By making a gift today, you are part of a nationwide community that cares about providing effective humanitarian aid and sustainable development programs to 25+ countries around the world.
Securities can include stocks, mutual funds, and employee stock options. Donating appreciated stocks means you pay no tax on the capital gains and receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of the securities.
This efficient alternative to cash provides a substantial tax incentive and gives you the satisfaction of seeing your gift put to use today.
