DONATE

A gift of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be a powerful way to support SEEDS while potentially maximizing your tax benefits. By donating securities directly to SEEDS, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated assets and may qualify for a charitable income tax deduction based on the fair market value of the gift, subject to IRS regulations and your individual tax situation.

Donating securities often allows you to make a larger impact than an equivalent cash gift, helping SEEDS provide transformative educational opportunities for academically talented students from underserved communities.

To make a gift of stock or other securities, please contact the SEEDS Development Office to receive transfer instructions and information for you or your financial advisor. Your broker will need to initiate the transfer on your behalf.

Create a lasting legacy by including SEEDS – Access Changes Everything in your estate plans. A planned gift helps ensure that future generations of talented students have access to the educational opportunities, guidance, and support they need to achieve their full potential.

One of the simplest ways to make a planned gift is through a bequest in your will or trust. By naming SEEDS as a beneficiary, you can make a meaningful investment in educational access and opportunity for years to come.

Your bequest may:

• Designate a specific dollar amount
• Designate a percentage of your estate
• Leave all or a portion of the remainder of your estate after other distributions have been made
