Bridge of Speech:

Be a part of the Bridge which will connect you to the children of SLCD forever!

The Bridge of Speech plaques decorate the front entranceway of SLCD. Please consider being a part of this great fundraising campaign.

Size of plaque: 2.5" x 8" ($300 for Gold, $200 for Silver, and $100 for Bronze).

You can print the order form here and mail it to the SLCD Development Office.



Stock Donations:

The benefits to you when making this type of donation:

  • Avoiding Federal and State tax on capital gains.
  • Receiving an income tax deduction for the full market value of your gift if you itemize deductions on your tax return and have held the assets for at least one year.
  • Making a larger gift to SLCD at a lower original cost to you.

We encourage you to consult your financial planner, or tax advisor, who can evaluate the tax advantages when making a donation of stocks.

 

Planned Giving:

Would you like to be a friend of SLCD in the future?  A planned gift is an important part of estate planning, and leaves a legacy behind. In a Will, or with a Bequest, you can name SLCD as recipient for a specific amount or percentage of a residual estate. 

This type of gift has several advantages:

  • gifts made through your will are free of estate tax
  • a bequest may place your estate in a low tax bracket
  • you may specify that your bequest is used for a specific or general purpose. 

Speak with your attorney to discuss what type of planned giving option is right for you.
