Supporting Our Mission Through Stock and Capital Gains Donations
We’re excited to share a new way you can support Friends of Patapsco Valley State Park and make an even greater impact!
Did you know that donating appreciated stocks or securities is not only a generous way to give but can also provide significant tax benefits for you? By donating stocks that have increased in value, you can avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock.
Here’s how your donation helps:
- You maximize your contribution without increasing your out-of-pocket expenses.
- We can use the value of your gift to advance our mission, whether it’s supporting our Adaptive Programming or building and maintaining our shared trail system.
Making a stock or capital gains donation is simple:
- Contact your financial advisor or broker to initiate the transfer.
- Reach out to us at info@fpvsp.org for our account details and any assistance you need.
- Let us know about your donation so we can acknowledge your generosity and provide a tax receipt.
Every donation, whether in cash, stocks, or other appreciated assets, directly supports Patapsco Valley State Park – your gift stays in the Patapsco Valley!
