Transfer Stock

Support our mission and potentially save money on your taxes with a gift of stock.
Donating appreciated stock can provide you with the opportunity to avoid a capital gains tax, while also obtaining a charitable tax deduction. When you donate stock to The Juniper Fund, the total value of the stock is eligible for a tax deduction, allowing you to make a greater donation than if you sell appreciated stock and donate the net cash. You can donate stock to the Juniper Fund in two ways:

Physical donation
You can donate physical securities in person, by courier, or by registered mail. Please contact us at info@thejuniperfund.org to organize a meeting location. You will need to provide an Irrevocable Stock/Bond Power form if your stocks are registered in your name.

Electronic Transfer
You may also have your broker transfer your donation online. Before doing so, you or your broker must complete an Electronic Transfer Authorization form.

Give from IRA or Retirement Funds

Take advantage of the IRA Charitable Rollover and make a gift from your retirement fund. This is an excellent opportunity to give, while also reducing your taxable income and possibly satisfying your minimum required distribution.

How to donate:

  • You must be at least 70 ½ years old

  • You may transfer up to $100,000 per year as an individual, and up to $200,000 per year as a married couple.

  • You must transfer your donation directly from your account to the Juniper Fund.

Bequests

Making a gift through your will creates a legacy of support that benefits families for years to come. Bequests are an easy and flexible way to create a lasting impact.

Supporting The Juniper Fund through your will is as simple as instructing an executor or trustee to make a gift in your will or trust. This is a common method of donating, as the gift can be altered at any point during your lifetime. Charitable bequests are also the easiest way to receive an estate deduction for your estate.

There are several simple ways to give through your will:

  • General gift - A selected sum of money to be given through will/trust.

  • Residual gift - A gift of the money that remains after all debts, taxes, and expenses have been paid.

  • Contingent gift - A selected sum or share of money is donated, but only if a chosen spouse, family member, or other beneficiary does not live longer than you.

Corporate Matching

You can increase your donation by partnering with your employer. Many companies generously offer to match, double, or triple their employees’ donations. Talk to your HR Department to see if your company has a policy intended to match employee donations.

Become a Corporate Partner

Our partnerships help diversify and strengthen our organization, providing us with more opportunities to advance the vocational training and grants we provide. These partnerships also benefit our corporate partners by displaying their commitment and generosity to an important cause.

There are many ways to get involved. For example:

  • Cause marketing - An agreement in which your company donates a percentage of its profits. This partnership benefits both parties, as your donations and social impact increase with the growth of your company.

  • Corporate grants

  • Event sponsorship

  • In-kind donations

Give from your Paycheck

In-kind gifts can also advance our programs significantly—providing us with materials to reach out to new families and help them expand their technical skills and training. Gifts of climbing clothes & equipment, books, notebooks, or cooking supplies can all be used in our educational and vocational programs and we are always grateful for the donations.
