Appreciated Securities

Hamlin accepts gifts of appreciated securities through two different accounts, one with Morgan Stanley and one with Charles Schwab. Gifts of this type allow the donor to avoid capital gains tax while providing a gift of charitable deduction based upon the market value of the stock. If you are interested in making a donation of this kind, please contact the development office at 415-674-5421 for further information and transfer instructions.

Matching Gifts

Many companies provide matching funds, whereby the donor submits documentation to the employer of a gift to Hamlin, and the company matches the funds. This is an easy way to increase the size of your own gift to Hamlin. Please check with your employer about whether or not your company has a matching gift program.
