Ways to Give:
Many individuals choose to make donations of stock, given the availability of income tax deductions for charitable contributions and capital gains tax savings. As long as the securities have been held for at least one year and the alternative minimum tax is not applicable, donors will receive a deduction equal to the full market value of the securities and avoid capital gains tax usually incurred in selling appreciated securities.
To donate securities held by your broker, please instruct the custodian to call or email Kristin Laughter with the name of the donor, the value of the stock at the time of the transfer, the number of shares transferred, name of the stock, and expected date of transfer. We also request the custodian to send a confirmation letter of the transfer along with any relevant documentation to:
Rainforest Alliance
Attn: Major Gifts
233 Broadway; 28th Floor
New York, NY 10279
If you would like more information about making a donation of stock, please contact Kristin Laughter
