Planned Gifts

Planned giving is a way for you to make a very special gift to TEL HI. You may receive tax benefits, and planned gifts can enhance your own financial situation while making a lasting contribution to TEL HI’s programs and participants. To ensure that we properly acknowledge you, please contact Ruchira Karamchandani when you make your gift. Her contact info is rkaramchandani@telhi.org or 415.624.4746.

 

A Gift of Financial Securities

There are significant tax benefits to donating appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual fund shares to TEL HI. You will avoid paying capital gains on the appreciated amount and will receive a tax deduction for the securities’ full market value at the time of transfer. Tell your broker that you are making a securities gift to “Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center.”

*One other thing about gifts of stock: We receive reports called “Stock Transfer Statements” to let us know that someone has donated stock to us. These transfer statements often DON’T include the name of the person who is donating. To ensure that we properly acknowledge you, please contact Ruchira Karamchandani when you make your donation. Her contact info is rkaramchandani@telhi.org or 415.624.4746.

Memorial Gifts

We strive to honor their legacy of caring and helping others every day. You can help us. Honor someone you love by making a gift to TEL HI in his or her name.
