A gift of appreciated securities can be a tax-smart way to support Keepers of the Burnt Island Light.

Give stock. Help care for the island. Save on taxes.

Your investments can help sustain the island you love—and offer you greater tax savings than a cash gift. When you give appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you’ve held for more than a year directly to us, you avoid capital gains tax on their increase in value. If you itemize, you may also qualify for a federal charitable deduction based on their full current market value, subject to IRS limits.

These savings can lower the after-tax cost of your gift, helping you give more for the island’s care and future.
