Your Investment Matters

Do you have capital invested in the stock market? Did you know that if you make a gift of appreciated stock to Cygnet, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, that you will pay no tax on the appreciated value? Of course, Cygnet gets the full value, so your contribution is recognized at that level. This means that you can avoid capital gains tax while providing funds to support our programs. It is our policy to sell stock immediately upon receipt.

Like cash donations, stock or IRA gifts can be used for general support or directed toward a specific program.
