3. If you prefer to send the actual stock certificate, please contact Children at Risk Intervention Fund as well as your broker before sending the certificates since donation of stock certificates requires a special form to ensure that the transfer is accomplished correctly.
If you have stock that has gone down in value, you can still support Children at Risk Intervention Fund . To maximize your benefit, sell the stock and contribute the proceeds to CARIF. In most cases, you can then receive a tax deduction AND a capital loss deduction. To ensure that you qualify for this program, please consult your financial advisor on all tax-related matters.
