A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a two-fold tax saving: avoiding capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the stock and providing an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock at the time of the gift. Gifts of stock are valued at the mean price on the date of transfer to Episcopal Community Services.  

To donate appreciated securities, please contact Adrienne Wilkerson, VP of Strategic Engagement, at awilkerson@ecscalifornia.org. 

A donor-advised fund is a giving vehicle that allows you to combine favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support Episcopal Community Services. They are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.  

If you already have a donor-advised fund and would like to make a gift to ECS, you can get started using DAF Direct by clicking here.
