Gifts of stocks and securities

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify Golden Gate Bird Alliance of your gift. 

Donor-Advised Funds

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used, notifies Golden Gate Bird Alliance of your intentions.  Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs. Give from my DAF.

Give From Your IRA
