(Note: The above wording is suggested. Consult your attorney when preparing any legal document.)

GIFTS OF STOCK

Gifts of stock can sometimes be more advantageous for you than gifts of cash. When you give appreciated securities to Environmental Advocates of New York, you can benefit in two ways:

You avoid paying capital gains taxes.
You can deduct the full fair market value of the stock from the current year's taxable income if the stock has been owned longer than 12 months.

MATCHING GIFTS

Many employers want to support the charitable causes that are of interest to their employees. To do this, companies make a matching gift based on the amount of money you have contributed. To find out if your company will make a matching gift, you should ask your employer if they have a "matching gift program."
