At Montco SAAC, we understand the importance of thoughtful and meaningful giving. Your generosity can leave a lasting impact on our community, providing vital support for our programs and services. We offer various options to help you make a planned or estate gift that aligns with your financial goals and philanthropic desires. Our resources are available to assist you every step of the way.
​
Gifts of Stock
By donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares held for more than one year, you can make a significant contribution without using cash. This method allows you to claim a federal income tax charitable deduction for the full appreciated value of the securities. Additionally, you will not incur capital gains tax, making this a cost-effective way to give.
​
Gift in Your Will (Estate Gifts)
A charitable bequest made through your will can ensure your legacy lives on through Montco SAAC. You can specify a particular dollar amount, asset, or percentage of your net estate. For more information on leaving an estate gift, please contact us, and we will be delighted to collaborate with you and your financial advisors.
