| | The Children's Fund
Annual gifts are the backbone for providing the ongoing quality services to children and families in crisis at Tamassee DAR School. Gifts to the Tamassee DAR School Children’s Fund provide scholarships for children in need of Tamassee’s services, and also provide for our direct care staff and teachers, for our academic programs, food services, and for other day to day operations. Annual fund gifts help meet the critical needs of Tamassee DAR School.
By establishing a personal tradition of annual giving, you are helping Tamassee DAR School battle, and overcome, child abuse, neglect, poverty, and educational degradation in children from all across the nation. Why is establishing a tradition of annual giving important? As a private non-profit, the ability of Tamassee DAR School to fulfill its mission and to respond to the increase of children needing our services depends on the resources available. Specifically, it depends on you and your generosity.
There are many ways to give to the Children's Fund.
Giving Stock
Donate stock that's appreciated in value. This is a win-win move. Donate stock and you won't have to pay capital gains taxes on the profits, and the full value of the stock can be deducted as a charitable donation.
For example, say you own $10,000 worth of stock that you originally bought for $3,000. If you sell it now, you'll pay tax on the $7,000 profit. (If you're in the 28 percent federal tax bracket, and qualify for the 20 percent long-term capital gains rate, you'd pay $1,400 in tax. That reduces the $10,000 to $8,600.) But if you give your $10,000 worth of unsold stocks to Tamassee DAR School, the IRS kindly lets you claim a tax deduction for the full $10,000. At the 28% tax bracket that works out to a $2,800 deduction.
