Helpful hints from UJC MetroWest for Year-End Giving
Is Uncle Sam High on Your Gift List?
 
  • Appreciated stocks make a great gift this time of year and provide an enormous tax advantage. Transfer stocks held for more than one year; receive a tax deduction at the full market value, bypassing capital gains taxes. For example: if you bought a stock for $5,000 that is now valued at $20,000, you get up to a $20,000 tax deduction.

    Appreciated stock or other property can be used to pay your UJA pledge, set up a family fund, or support other philanthropic vehicles.
     
  • Credit Cards are great for year end gifts. Make your UJA payment by credit card before Dec. 31 or set up a Donor Advised Fund with your credit card. You get the deduction the year the charge posts to your account (not when you actually pay your bill).
Through a special offer from American Express, you can earn double points
by paying your UJA pledge with the American Express card. This offer is
only available through Dec. 31. Click here to take advantage of this offer.

 You will be taken to the American Express site to make this payment.
UJC MetroWest is pleased to be working with American Express to make this offer possible.
