Girl Scouts of Colorado qualifies for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit. Gifts of at least $100 paid by 12/31/11 are eligible for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit. This Colorado statue has indefinitely been suspended, but you can earmark your gift to receive this credit for when it is re-instated. As with all charitable donations, please consult your tax advisor for more information.
Be sure to designate Colorado Childcare Contribution Credit—CCCC on your check (if you mail in a donation), or designate CCCC in the comment section of the online giving page.
Gifts of appreciated stock have significant tax advantages to the donor and we are pleased to receive stock gifts to advance our mission. When you make a gift of appreciated stock, you receive two tax benefits: a deduction for the full market value of the securities, and avoidance of the tax due on the capital gains.
If the securities are in your possession, we recommend that you send the unendorsed certificates by certified mail. In a separate mailing, please provide a stock power for each stock certificate you send us. Each stock power should be signed and signature guaranteed exactly as your name appears on the certificate. If the securities are in your broker's possession, please instruct that they be placed in a temporary account for us. We will provide the broker with our tax identification number or for automated stock donations:
National Financial Services, LLC
DTC: 0226
For further credit to: Girl Scouts of Colorado
The most important rule to remember is that the securities must be transferred into our name before they are sold. Please instruct your broker not to sell the securities until the transfer has been made.
It is important to communicate value in accordance with IRS the exact date of transfer to establish the gift regulations. For your income tax deduction, the value of the gift is the mean between the high and low market value on the transfer date.
If you have questions about a gift of stock, please call 303-607-4869.
