Put Stock in your Library
Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to support our mission.
When you donate stock, we get to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes. It’s win-win! And now it’s fast, safe, and free to donate stock to Alexandria Library Foundation because we've partnered with DonateStock.com. Also, it's easy!

*Please note, this page provides information, not tax advice. The specifics of any deduction allowed will depend on your unique circumstances. You should consult your advisors or tax professionals for purposes of calculating the amount of your charitable income tax deduction, in light of applicable limitations for charitable contributions based on your adjusted gross income and any other charitable contributions you may make this year. Also, you must have held any securities you use to make your gift for more than one year to be fully deductible.
