Stock, IRA, Wire Gifts
A gift of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year can sometimes be the most economical way to give.
You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift (for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income) and will not have to recognize the appreciation as capital gain.
Contact giving@latinschool.org for transfer instructions.

Increase your Impact
Matching Gifts
If you or your spouse work for a company that matches gifts, you may be able to multiply your impact! You would be recognized for the total amount contributed, your gift plus the match. To find out if your company will match your gift to Latin, please contact your company's HR department and obtain the appropriate company forms. Attach these forms to your gift and we can take it from there. Direct all forms and questions to giving@latinschool.org or 312.582.6040.
