Hi Friend,
Before you start sifting through Giving Tuesday email appeals tomorrow, we wanted to let you know of another important day for the National Immigration Law Center: Stock Monday!
What is Stock Monday? It’s when you can join a growing number of other NILC supporters and make a stock gift before December 31st. This will allow you to maximize your 2022 tax benefits and help us build a stronger, more inclusive immigrant justice movement.
Why now? With the recent rise in inflation and interest rates, stock giving allows you to make a critical difference for vulnerable immigrants while saving funds for your own immediate needs.
How does it work? We’ve partnered with FreeWill, a secure, online stock-giving platform, to make it simple. Here’s how it works:
- You’ll select which securities to donate (your tax benefits tend to be biggest if you’ve held the stock for over a year)
- FreeWill’s platform will auto complete your forms, and help you submit a request to transfer the securities
- We receive your gift intention and information so that we can thank you!
With more of our donors now choosing stock giving to support their philanthropic goals, I wanted to make sure you know this option is available to you. You can also reach out to me directly for transfer information if you’d prefer!
Thank you so much for your support in advancing the rights of immigrants with low income.
With gratitude,
Tiffanie J. Luckett
Senior Officer, Individual Giving
