Stock Donations

CLIP accepts stock transfers in lieu of cash donation.  It’s simple and easy.  When you donate stock to charity, you’ll generally take a tax deduction for the full fair market value. And because you are donating stock, your contribution and tax deduction may instantly increase over 20%1.  Would you prefer to donate bonds or mutual funds? The same benefits apply.
