Gifts of AppreciateD Assets:
CASA of St. Louis is accepts gifts of stocks, bonds, and other securities. These gifts of appreciated stock can provide advantages when compared to making a cash donation. You can deduct the fair market value of the qualified non-cash property with no capital gains tax, provided you have held the asset for more than one year. If the securities have lost value, you could see additional advantages by selling the securities and giving the proceeds to CASA of St. Louis, which would allow you to claim a charitable deduction for the gift as well as claim the capital loss.
Memorial and Tribute Gifts:
Memorial or Tribute gifts are a wonderful way to recognize a family member or friend. Gifts can be in memory of someone who has passed or in honor of special events, such as birthdays, wedding anniversaries or other special occasions.
