| Gifts of Securities | Giving a gift of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds can be to your financial advantage. In most cases you may claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value on the shares and avoid capital gains tax. Please consult your financial advisor to clarify the advantages. If you intend to give a gift of securities, please call (or have your broker call) the Business Office. |
| Matching Gifts | Many employers offer programs that will match or even multiply an employee’s gift to GAIS. This is an easy way to dramatically increase the impact of your contribution. Simply obtain a form from your company’s Matching Gift Coordinator (usually in the Human Resources or Community Relations Department), fill it out and send it in with your contribution. |
| Gais Foerderverein | The GAIS Foerderverein is a great way to stay in touch with GAIS and families who have returned to Europe.
