Make a Gift of Securities

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds is quick, surprisingly simple and may provide you with significant tax benefits.

There are three easy steps to giving:

Step 1

Send us an e-mail at admin@thecommonsatlarkspur.org to give us your name, address and gift information.

Step 2

We will send you our broker stock transfer information. Please watch your email for a response from admin@thecommonsatlarkspur.org

Step 3

The Commons Foundation will sell the stock and send you a tax receipt using the contact information you provide. Your gift of securities to TCF is valued at an average of the low and high trading prices on the date of the gift.

You receive the potential deduction for the amount of the charitable donation, and you don’t pay capital gains tax on the sale.

Donations through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are welcome. We are registered with most financial institutions including Marin Community Foundation, Schwab Charitable, Fidelity Charitable, Morgan Stanley DAF, San Francisco Foundation, Silicon Valley Foundation, under the name: The Commons Foundation, with the non-profit EIN #47-4561272
