The Power of Your Dollar

• $50 gives new school supplies to a child, ensuring they start the school year prepared and ready to learn
• $100 pays for new books for preschoolers
• $300 provides essential transportation support, covering the cost of bus passes or fuel cards for one family, ensuring access to employment, education, and healthcare services
• $1,500 provides access to nutritious food and essential health support, improving health outcomes and food security
• $5,000 makes child care more affordable at a licensed-based center for 5 families

Gifts of stock can be a very powerful tool to manage your personal taxes and meet your philanthropic goals at the SAME time. 

For most taxpayers any gift of stock that has been held for at least one year - defined as a 'long term' holding - can be written off at fair market value against income if donated to a qualified charity such as United Way of Coastal and Western Connecticut.
