Stocks and Bond Gifts
A charitable gift of stocks or bonds provides an opportunity for tax savings while generously sharing with others. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation. In addition to helping Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity, you may diversify away from low-basis, long-term holdings into other assets that will better suit your current needs. If you would like to discuss a gift of stocks or bonds, please call us at (319) 366-4485.

Corporate Development
What can business do? There is something for every business:

• Make an annual contribution
• Provide a work crew
• Post information about homeowning opportunities
• Fund a specific ‘piece’ of the construction process or the sponsorship of a house

A business that has $15,000-$40,000 to invest could become a house sponsor at the $15,000, $30,000 or $45,000 level. The business may or may not provide volunteers.

A business in the construction industry may be able to offer plumbing, heating, electrical or building materials supplies or services. (Perhaps a plumber would offer the plumbing for one house—or Habitat would buy the materials and the subcontractor would volunteer the labor for a tax-deductible contribution).

A builder may give the gift of time by volunteering one day or many as a crew leader. One of the greatest needs on the construction site is persons of skill who are willing to teach and lead 4-6 unskilled volunteers in a specific task.

A business not in the construction industry may be able to assist Habitat with more than funds, i.e., stock office supplies, prepare and serve meals for construction volunteers, include Habitat info in customer mailings, and/or provide volunteers to special events.

Thank you for considering Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity as your charitable giving choice!
