Donate Stock
You can help Bayou Preservation fund its mission while circumventing taxes by donating stock.
Did you know you can donate long-term appreciated securities such as stock, bonds and mutual funds? And it’s easier than it may seem. When you donate the stock itself—rather than selling or liquidating the security—not only do you remove a step in the process, but you won’t need to remove the long-term capital gains taxes paid from the overall sum. This increases your donation amount up to 37% more. To transfer stock, either you or your broker fills out the transfer authorization form, and that’s all there is to it.

So remember, charitable giving doesn’t always mean cash. By giving stock, your support will have even greater impact. Give smart and save more by putting stock in something that matters.
