Here's a gift that saves you money too...

Contributors often find that a donation of stock is a more efficient than a gift of cash.

Why? Because gifts of stock avoid the capital gains tax that the donor would have to pay if they simply sold the stock and sent us a check. The same tax rules apply to shares of mutual funds too.

So if you have shares which have appreciated and you are thinking of making a contribution to BorderLinks, you may wish to consider this type of donation.

Please contact Cruz at the BorderLinks office at 520-628-8263 or lacruz@borderlinks.org) to find out how to use our transit account with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.

You will maximize the value of your donation and save on taxes at the same time.

We depend on you.

Call us at 520-628-8263 or email program@borderlinks.org
