Giving Options – Stock Transfers
You can support students and teachers in Sarasota County—and receive a tax benefit at the same time. If you have appreciated stocks, you can transfer them to the Education Foundation of Sarasota County. You’ll avoid a capital gains tax, and we’ll be able to assist teachers and help prepare students to lead successful and meaningful lives.
To help you complete this easy process of transferring your stocks, we’ll provide you with a template letter you can send to your financial institution.
