Did you know that donating appreciated securities, such as stocks or mutual funds, is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support Seattle JazzED? When you donate stock directly, you can avoid capital gains taxes while helping us empower the next generation of musicians.

A Powerful Way to Give

When you donate stock that has increased in value, you may avoid paying capital gains taxes and be eligible for a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock. This means you can make a bigger impact without affecting your cash flow. You can deduct the full fair market value of your donated stock on your federal income taxes, allowing you to support Seattle JazzED at a lower after-tax cost. By giving appreciated securities, you can reduce your tax liability, making it an even smarter way to give.

Your donation will go directly towards funding sliding-scale tuition, providing instruments, and expanding access to quality music education for students across our region.
