Company Matching Giving
Many companies offer matching gift programs and by participating in these programs, your employer may match your charitable contributions, doubling or even tripling the impact of your gift. Please check with your employer’s HR department to determine eligibility or utilize the Charity Navigator search tool to find your company.
Gifts of Stock
Gifts of publicly traded securities have an immediate income tax deduction. You may potentially avoid capital gains tax on donated shares of stock and have an immediate impact on seeing your gift in action. By transferring securities directly to the CFC, you may be eligible for a charitable income tax deduction based on the fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift. To facilitate a gift of stock, please get in touch with our Finance Director at bob@msysa.org
