The Foundation accepts stocks or other securities as donations. When you donate appreciated securities, it provides an immediate benefit to Butler and the maximum income tax deduction to you.

Gifts of appreciated stock or mutual funds qualify for an income tax deduction equal to the current market value of the transferred assets. By transferring those assets to the Butler Foundation, you also avoid paying capital gain tax. In most cases, this double tax savings makes a gift of appreciated securities a very cost effective gift option.
