Explore financial giving options?
While most people contribute to United Way through workplace campaigns, more and more are taking advantage of planned giving and other options.
Giving stock?
By making a gift of securities, you may:
Claim the market value of the stock as a tax deduction, which is usually more than the actual amount paid for the shares.
Avoid capital gains, state and local taxes on the profit from the sale of the securities.
There are only two simple steps to donate securities to United Way.
Contact your broker and request a transfer of securities to the United Way account. United Way maintains accounts at most brokerage firms in Greater Kalamazoo. Please do not send stock certificates by mail.

Appreciated Securities?
Do you own assets that have substantially increased in value over the years? Donated assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds or real estate may provide you with an income tax deduction based on the fair market value of the gift and eliminate all capital gains taxes. Calculate your Stock Gift!
