Many Ways to Support Neurosurgery

If you have stocks that have risen in value, you may be able to save significantly on taxes while making your charitable contribution. When you give stocks that have risen in value, you may be eligible to deduct the full “appreciated” amount and avoid paying capital gains taxes. This allows you to make a significant gift supporting the CNSF mission in a “taxwise” manner. It is important that you give the securities themselves versus selling them first, and it is always a good idea to check with your financial advisor first and to determine what you can deduct.

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is an increasingly popular charitable giving vehicle administered by a third party that may allow you to take an immediate tax deduction and then spread out your charitable gifts as you wish. Most major DAF administrators (such as Fidelity, Schwab, or Vanguard) allow simple, online electronic donations from your account to the organization of your choice. Please consult with your financial advisor about these excellent vehicles for making charitable contributions.
