Donating Stock
Donating stock allows you to avoid the tax on the gain and still deduct 100% of the value from the donation. When donating stock, you can earn up to 2-3 times the tax savings as opposed to donating cash. Remember, being charitable doesn’t always mean giving cash. The gift of stock will mean a greater impact without the depletion of your personal funds.
The Dallas Jewish Community Foundation is pleased to offer two ways to donate stock to your donor advised fund!
1) Donate Stock: DJCF has partnered with Donate Stock to grant our supporters the ability to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. Our Donate Stock page enables you to contribute stock from your brokerage directly to your donor-advised fund account through a secure portal, making the gifting process fast, safe, and easy. Donate Stock charges a small per-transaction fee for this service. Visit our Donate Stock page and donate stock today!
2) Manual Stock Transfer: Contact us over email at grants@djcf.org or via phone at (214) 615-9351 and asking for our DTC information. Your broker facilitate the gift of stock directly with the Foundation. There are no fees for this transaction type.
Thank you for choosing us as your partner in philanthropy.
