Gifts of Stock

Donating appreciated securities is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support the Community Hub project.

When you donate stocks, mutual funds, or other securities that have increased in value since you purchased them, you may be able to avoid paying capital gains taxes that would otherwise apply if you sold the assets first and then donated the cash proceeds.

In addition to bypassing capital gains tax, you may also be eligible to claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities at the time of the donation, provided you’ve held them for more than one year. This can significantly reduce your overall tax liability while enabling you to make a larger charitable contribution than if you donated cash.

By giving appreciated securities, you are not only maximizing the impact of your gift but also making a smart financial decision that combines generosity with tax strategy.

Donors interested in processing a Gift of Stock will be provided Delivery Instructions and Account Information to set up the transfer through our partners at LPL Financial who are generously donating all commissions back to the project fund.

Gifts of Check or Credit Card

Donating by check or credit card offers convenient and secure ways to support First Tee – Sandhills.

Credit card donations can be made quickly online, allowing for instant processing and often the option to set up recurring gifts. Check donations, while more traditional, remain a reliable method—especially for those who prefer to keep a physical record or avoid digital transactions. Both options ensure that your contribution reaches First Tee – Sandhills efficiently and can be easily tracked for tax purposes.

Reoccurring Monthly Gifts

Make your commitment to First Tee – Sandhills as easy as possible by setting up convenient recurring donations.

Recurring donations are automated, scheduled contributions – weekly, monthly, or annually – that donors authorize from their bank or credit card. This giving method ensures First Tee – Sandhills receive steady, predictable funding to plan and grow their impact. For donors, it offers a hassle-free, flexible way to support our cause consistently without needing to remember each time.
