STOCKS AND TRUSTS
Making a gift of securities or mutual funds to the Urbana Parks Foundation offers you the chance to support Urbana Parks while realizing important benefits for yourself.
Stocks
If you own stocks or mutual funds that have appreciated in price since you purchased them, consider using that asset for your charitable giving. You may be entitled to an income tax deduction for the full market value of donated securities that you have owned more than one year and you may avoid the capital gains tax on the appreciated value. Please consult your tax advisor for more information.
Special note: Please consult your tax advisor for more information. You should call or e-mail us to tell us of your intent, and we will be able to assist you with the details. For information please email info@urbanaparksfoundation.org or call (217) 367-1536.
Trusts
This type of gift arrangement allows you to direct gifts to the Foundation for a specified period of time and, in turn, you may receive either a charitable deduction now for gifts made in subsequent years or a reduction in gift or estate taxes on property you wish to pass to heirs. Please consult your tax advisor for more information. For information please email info@urbanaparksfoundation.org or call (217) 367-1536.
