How Your Charitable Gift of Stock Can Change a Generation
GiGi’s Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Centers succeed because of courageous families, enthusiastic volunteers, dedicated donors and lots of BELIEF! Generous donors allow us to provide FREE PROGRAMS to over 25,000 individuals with Down syndrome and their families across the country and in Mexico.
One way donors support our Playhouse families is by donating stock. Stock donations fund 30+ FREE educational, therapeutic and career training programs. OUTCOMES include daily achievements in gross and fine motor skills, reading and math, fitness and nutrition, and communication skills. IMPACTS of stock include greater acceptance, belief and confidence; greater quality of life for participants and parents, new community and corporate partnerships, reduced discrimination and bulling at schools and on social media, and more.
In 2016 GiGi’s will embark on a nationwide endeavor called Generation G to foster greater acceptance and generosity for future generations! Please consider joining Generation G and supporting our Playhouse families through a year-end donation of stock. Depending on your situation, gifts of stock (or shares of a mutual fund) to GiGi’s Playhouse may be fully deductible at their market value at the time of the donation up to 30% of the donor’s adjusted gross income, and the donor may not have to pay capital gains tax on any gain. Please consult your tax advisor to determine the specific deductibility of your stock donation.
