Give Smart with Gifts of Stock
Did you know that donating stock or mutual fund shares can provide you with significant tax advantages while making a lasting impact on the Jefferson County Library District (JCLD)? By giving securities, you may avoid capital gains tax and deduct up to 100%* of the gift’s value. In many cases, the tax savings can be two to three times greater than donating cash. It’s a win-win for you and your library.
Please Note: JCLD cannot accept stock certificates or bonds directly. If your securities are not held in street name, please deliver them to your broker before initiating the transfer.

Remember, charitable giving doesn’t always mean cash—sometimes the smartest gift is stock. By putting stock in something that matters, you help JCLD continue Feeding Minds & Fueling Dreams throughout Jefferson County.
