OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
Securities*
You may find it more beneficial to give securities, particularly those that have appreciated in value. Appreciated securities, if sold, will result in a taxable gain. By making a gift of securities that have been held at least 12 months to Desert Samaritans for the Elderly, you receive a double tax benefit – you avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation, and you receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the assets. To make a contribution of securities, please call 760-837-9066.
Gifts-in-Kind*
A comprehensive list of goods is being developed. Please check back. To make a contribution of gifts-in-kind, please call 760-837-9066.
