Gifts of Securities

Because of the tax advantages of donating appreciated securities, you may find you are able to make a larger gift with stock than with cash.

When you make a gift of appreciated securities that you have owned for more than a year, you avoid the capital gains taxes that would be due if you sold the stock.  And, you receive an income tax deduction based on the full market value of the stock at the time of the gift.

Gifts of Life Insurance

Perhaps you own a life insurance policy that you no longer need. In that case, you may choose to make the Music & Memory the beneficiary or co-beneficiary of the policy.

You may also purchase a new policy for the benefit of Music & Memory.  This may result in a gift that is much larger than its cost.

Thank you for supporting Music & Memory and our mission to enhance quality of life for those living in long-term care through the power of music!
