SUPPORT MOFF’S MISSION TO FIND A CURE FOR ALS
Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give. And when you donate stock, we get to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes – it’s a win-win for you and us! And now it’s fast, safe, and free to donate stock to Martha Olson-Fernandez Foundation. We have partnered with DonateStock.com to enable our supporters to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. By clicking on the DonateStock button below, you can initiate a stock gift from your brokerage through a secure portal in minutes at no cost to you.
Donate with confidence.
The Martha Olson-Fernandez Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. Our EIN is 45-4983912. To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record.
