Gift of Stock | Chance Theater

All stock counts!

Your support helps us use theater to contribute to a more connected, compassionate, and creative community. We want, in return, for your gift to be as tax efficient to you as possible!

How it Works:

Gifts of appreciated stock can often yield significant tax benefits because they are often deductible from your income tax at their fair market value.
This kind of gift will often avoid capital gains tax that might otherwise result from selling the stock and then using the cash to make your gift to the Chance.
Gifts of appreciated assets are often deductible in amounts up to 30% of your adjusted gross income, and any remaining deduction may generally be carried over for use in the future.

How to Donate:

We will need your broker’s name and telephone number as well as the name of the stock and the number of shares you wish to transfer.
Please also inform your broker of your intent to make a gift of stock. This information will ensure the details of the transaction are completed accurately and efficiently.
Stock may be donated by electronic transfer (DTC) of the shares between your broker and Chance Theater’s broker.
You should consult your attorney or financial adviser before making the donation.

Stock transferred in this fashion is valued on the date of the transfer — the date it moves into the Chance Theater account.
