How You Can Make Your Gift:

Cash/Check: A gift of cash is available immediately for the use of the Darrick Bernard Clark Foundation, and in most cases is fully deductible for donors who itemize their federal income taxes. Checks can be mailed directly to the Foundation at: P.O. Box 81; Saratoga CA, 95071. Contact Linda Clark at lrclark@dbcfoundation.org for more information.

Stocks/Securities: No matter what tax bracket you are in, making gifts with appreciated stock makes sense.  Tax benefits for the donor who has owned appreciated stocks for more than one year are two-fold: capital gains tax is avoided upon transfer to the Darrick Bernard Clark foundation and the donor can receive an income tax charitable deduction for the full market value of the stock on the date of the gift.  Depending on your tax bracket and the size of the gift, there may be an opportunity to carry over the charitable income tax deduction over several years.  Click here for more information on gifting securities.

Corporate Matching Gift: Many corporations match gifts to charitable institutions made by employees and directors; some will match the gifts of employee spouses and retired employees as well. Contact your personnel or Linda Clark at lrclark@dbcfoundation.org for more information.
