Gift of Stock<\/b><\/p>\n
Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give. And when you donate stock, we get to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes – it\u2019s a win-win for you and us! And now it\u2019s fast, safe, and free to donate stock to the Thomas Cole Site.<\/p>\n
We have partnered with DonateStock.com to enable our supporters to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. By clicking on the DonateStock button below, you can initiate a stock gift from your brokerage through a secure portal in minutes at no cost to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html]
