Stock & Donor-Advised Fund Giving

Gifts of Stock

Make an impact through a gift of appreciated stock.

Donating stocks or other appreciated securities is a meaningful way to support Helping Hand Home and the children and families in our care. A gift of stock may also provide valuable tax benefits, depending on your individual circumstances.

By donating appreciated securities directly to Helping Hand Home, you may be able to:

 

  • Receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value of your gift, subject to applicable tax rules
  • Avoid or reduce capital gains taxes that may apply if you sold the securities yourself
  • Make a greater charitable impact without using cash

How to Make a Stock Gift

To make a gift of stock, please contact Mary Ellen Lewis, Donor Relations Manager, at mlewis@helpinghandhome.org for Helping Hand Home’s brokerage account information and transfer instructions.

To help us identify and acknowledge your gift, please let us know when you initiate a stock transfer and provide your name, the name of the security, and the number of shares being transferred.

Thank you for investing in hope, healing, and brighter futures for children and families.

Donor-Advised Fund Giving

Make a meaningful impact through your donor-advised fund.

 

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple and flexible way to support Helping Hand Home and the children and families in our care. DAFs allow you to recommend grants to charitable organizations you care about while taking advantage of potential tax benefits associated with charitable giving.

 

If you already have a donor-advised fund, you can recommend a grant to Helping Hand Home through your fund administrator or financial institution.
