Stock Donation
If you’re looking for a tax-smart way to leave your legacy, consider a gift of stock. When you give appreciated stock that you’ve owned for more than one year, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction when you itemize. There are two simple ways you can donate stock. You can donate stock directly to Children Rising or through a donor-advised fund (DAF). To make a gift of stock directly to Children Rising, click here. We partner with StockDonator.com to easily transfer stock from your account to ours. To make a gift of stock through your DAF, please contact your plan administrator, who will make the process fast and easy for you.
Personal Fundraiser on Facebook
Many people like to share their passion for the kids with family and friends. Peer-to-peer fundraising on Facebook is a simple way for you to support Children Rising while celebrating a milestone like your birthday. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for you to share with your family and friends why the kids in your community are so important to you. And Facebook makes it super easy!
