Stock Donation
Gifts of appreciated stock or mutual funds are another great way to give to JDRF. You get an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of securities you have owned more than one year—subject to the usual limitations—and capital gains taxes will be completely avoided on these assets.
To transfer securities to JDRF, please contact Elizabeth Fay, Manager, Donor Services, at 952-236-3457 or email her at efay@jdrf.org.
