Give a Gift of Stock
- You can transfer stock or shares in a mutual fund to North Star Fund. For stock transfer instructions, please email Kofo Anifalaje, Development Director, at kofo@northstarfund.org.
- North Star Fund will send you an acknowledgement and a receipt for your gift, based on the value of the shares on the date North Star Fund received them. (The deduction is based on the average of the high and low value of the stock on the day North Star received your stock.)
- You receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of your shares and avoid all the capital gains tax that you would have owed had you sold them.

Planned Giving
Deferred gifts can take many forms. Each of the options can increase your gift to North Star Fund and reduce the tax liability of your estate. Build your legacy of support for social justice by including North Star Fund in your will as the recipient of either a fixed amount or percentage of your estate. With help from our expert advisers, we can work with you (and/or your financial adviser) to draft text for your will, or establish a charitable remainder trusts to meet current and future needs, and your philanthropic objectives.
