Donating securities investments, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, to the Murray Education Foundation is a tax-efficient way to make a significant impact on the lives of Murray City School District students. By transferring appreciated securities directly to the foundation, donors can avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the gift.
These contributions can be directed toward targeted programs or specific needs, such as classroom innovation, extracurricular activities, or scholarship opportunities. This type of giving not only supports educational excellence but also allows donors to amplify the value of their investments while creating lasting benefits for students and the community.
To work with MEF in setting up a securities investment donation for a specific or generalized purpose, contact Doug Perry at dperry@murrayschools.org. He can help arrange a meeting to discuss wishes with the Foundation and a trusted financial planning advisor.
