Did you know that a donation of stock can count for more?The benefits:
- › You deduct the current fair market values of the shares on your taxes, not the price you originally paid for them.
- › You avoid ever having to pay taxes on capital gains on the donated shares in the future.
- › Essentially, you are donating with a monetary gain that you never realized and thus will never pay taxes on.
- › The tax receipt Seedco sends you upon receiving the donation
- › A dated letter from your broker spelling out how many shares were donated to us
If you acquired a block of shares over time at different prices, be sure to donate the ones that you acquired at the lowest cost in order to realize the greatest possible tax savings. Those shares contain the biggest amount of locked-in capital gain that you can avoid getting taxed on.

By including Seedco in your will or trust, you can ensure that those less fortunate will continue to receive
services for years to come. Bequests of all sizes, of both financial assets and real estate, maintain and strengthen
our ability to help low-income people and communities move toward economic prosperity.A testamentary gift to Seedco can also help you meet financial and estate planning goals. Your bequest will qualify your estate for a charitable deduction equal to the entire amount of the bequest.
Testamentary Gifts
Testamentary gifts to Seedco may take two forms:
- › Cash Bequest - Seedco receives a specific dollar amount
- › Specific Bequest or Devise of Property - Seedco receives specified assets, such as securities or an interest in real estate.
I give and bequeath to Seedco, a not-for-profit corporation located at 915 Broadway, 17th Fl., New York, NY 10010, for its general purposes, the sum of ____ Dollars ($____) [or ____% of my residuary estate].
Retirement Plans
Today, IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k)s and other retirement plan assets make up an increasingly large part of many estates. When left to your heirs, these assets can become subject to income, state and other transfer taxes. Naming Seedco as a beneficiary of all or a specified percentage of your plan assets eliminates both income and estate taxes. Note that designating a specific dollar amount, instead of a specified percentage, will result in the inclusion of these funds in your gross estate for tax purposes.
