One of the most advantageous ways to contribute to Mesa Refuge is with a gift of stock or other securities such as bonds or mutual funds. The total value of your gift is tax-deductible, provided it has been held for at least one year, and there is no obligation to pay any capital gains tax on the appreciated value. The gift is fully deductible as of the date it arrives in our account.

Electronic Transfer

If your stock is held in brokerage account, your broker can transfer your gift electronically to our account at Redwood Credit Union. Please contact Mesa Refuge Executive Director Kamala Tully for our brokerage account information. It is helpful to alert us in advance about the stock and number of shares you plan to donate.
