Donate Stock to WIND Guatemala
“For it is in giving that we receive.” Francis of Assisi
Donating appreciated stock can be a meaningful way to support WIND Guatemala’s work with children and families in San Juan Cotzal. Stock gifts can support Christian education, child sponsorship, health programs, pastor training, and other ministry needs.
It’s simple and easy. When you donate stock to charity, you do not feel the impact from your personal cash accounts. Donating appreciated securities may offer tax advantages, including the potential to avoid capital gains tax on appreciation and receive a charitable deduction, depending on your individual circumstances. Please consult your tax or financial advisor regarding the tax treatment of your gift.
The financial impact to a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, like WIND, is immediate. Your stock will be sold and converted to cash to be used to meet the needs of the children and school. Your gift will have an immediate transforming impact!
How to donate stock to WIND:
Contact your broker and transfer stock to the WIND of God account at Charles Schwab: Account 8388-9313.
Notify Maurina Rice by email at maurina@wind-guatemala.org of the company and number of shares given.
A letter acknowledging the receipt of the stock will be sent to you. Wait until you get this letter before you do your taxes, or your deduction may be disallowed.
Every gift is a blessing to the children and school!
