Why make a gift of stock?

A gift of stock or other securities, such as bonds or mutual funds can be one of the most beneficial gifts to Friends of the Rainforest. 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.

What's in a will?

A will is vital to estate planning whether or not you consider yourself wealthy.  Adding Friends of the Rainforest to your will allows you to ensure a legacy gift to protect the rainforest for future generations after you no longer need the money.  You can choose to make a percentage gift that allows for more flexibility or settle on a fixed amount.
