In advance of a stock or securities transfer to French International, please contact
Marianne Wilburn, Director of Development
or at (503) 292-7776 x1305 to ensure that the gift is properly received and is directed to the proper account. We will need the name of the donor and the gift designation.
You can establish a Giving Account and then donate cash, stocks or non-publicly traded assets such as private business interests, cryptocurrency and private company stock to be eligible for an immediate tax deduction.
Think of a donor-advised fund as a personal investment account. However, the account must be created and maintained by a sponsoring organization. Most of these sponsoring organizations are either charitable arms of financial service firms or they are Community Foundations. The sponsor organization actively invests and manages the funds. Donors can contribute as frequently as they’d like. When you deposit assets into the account, you receive the charitable tax deduction immediately without the pressure of selecting a recipient organization right then.
