Stock or Securities
Invest wisely: purchase low and give generously. Donating appreciated stock held for over a year to charity is straightforward.
Simply initiate the process with a quick email or phone call to your financial advisor or brokerage firm. By gifting stock, you sidestep capital gains taxes on the accrued value and gain a charitable deduction based on the fair market value at the time of donation.

IRA Gifts
Are you 70.5 years old or older, or know someone who is?
If you are 70.5 or older, you can donate to Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter & Services directly from your IRA to make a powerful, tax-savvy impact on our community. Here are some essential pieces of information you need to know about IRA gifts.
You can save on taxes: Funds withdrawn from your IRA typically count towards your annual income, which increases your tax burden. IRA gifts are the exception to this rule: they are tax-free, aren’t recognized as income, and therefore reduce your future tax bill. These contributions are always tax-free, regardless of whether or not you itemize on your return.
You can reach your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD): RMDs are back this year, and donating to Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter from your retirement account is a compassionate way to fulfill it!
