Donate Stocks By Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or Direct Method

Did you know that you can support our New JSNT Center building project by donating Appreciated Stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, or grants through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) or thorugh Direct In-kind transfer method?

For many donors, donating appreciated securities can be significantly more tax-efficient than selling the investment and donating cash. Although long term and short term both securities are accepted,  by giving securities held for more than one year, you can maximize your impact on the temple construction while optimizing your personal tax benefits.

The guide below explains two easy ways to support the temple building fund:

1. Donate stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds directly to the temple account.

2. Donate appreciated securities to your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) and then recommend a grant to our temple building project.
