Your investments can make a lasting difference for wildlife. Many donors choose to support Born Free USA by giving appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). A gift of appreciated securities can provide significant support for our wildlife protection work while potentially offering tax benefits, including avoiding capital gains tax on the appreciation.
“I made a stock donation because it puts the full amount of appreciated value to work with Born Free without either of us having to pay capital gains tax. I was prompted to make a large donation mostly by Born Free’s efforts to eradicate trapping and the fur industry. Also, in 2012, I organized a campaign to defeat a ballot measure in Idaho that made hunting, fishing and trapping constitutionally protected rights. I contacted several animal rights organizations asking for help with that campaign, and Born Free was the only one that responded. I have always felt grateful for that.”
– Greg, a supporter who recently made a generous gift of stock to Born Free USA
Your generosity can help us continue this vital work. Gifts of appreciated securities can be a powerful way to maximize your charitable impact while supporting Born Free USA’s efforts to protect animals and end the exploitation of wildlife.
We are deeply grateful to our dedicated supporters and their passion for wildlife. Please consider making a gift of stock or another appreciated security today and join us in creating a kinder, more compassionate future for animals.
Keep Wildlife in the Wild,
Angela
