Ways to Give
Coro welcomes gifts/transfers of publicly traded stocks or bonds. You receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock or bond. You avoid capital gains taxes, if any, you might have to pay if you sell the stock or bond.
Coro welcomes gifts of publicly traded stock that has increased in value. Besides, your gift of publicly traded stock that you have owned for more than one year may provide greater tax benefits than giving cash. The income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock. You save on brokerage fees by transferring ownership of the stock to Coro rather than selling it. You avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase, if any, in the current value of the stock over the original cost of the stock.
Find out if your workplace has a workplace giving program. These programs provide a way for employees to donate to educational and charitable organizations of their choice, usually through one time or on going payroll deductions. Include Coro as a beneficiary of your donations.
Does your employer have a matching gift program to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations? Most of these programs match contributions one dollar for one dollar—some programs may even double or triple amounts that you give.
