Donate Stocks, Bonds, or Mutual Funds
Donating stocks, bonds, and mutual funds can be a significant way to support the Legacy of Hope campaign. You can also donate the interest on a CD, IRA, charitable trust, or money market account. Donating these items is easy, and you may avoid capital gains taxes.
You need only consult your financial advisor. He or she will need the following information in order to wire the shares to Memphis Union Mission’s account:
Brokerage Firm: Fidelity Investments
DTC Number: 0226
Account Number: Z72783412
Note: the first character in the account number is the letter “Z”.
Please notify us if you plan to wire shares to Memphis Union Mission.
That way, we will know when to expect the transfer and may send you a receipt for tax purposes.
In most cases, you will receive greater tax benefits by wiring your shares to our account, rather than selling them and sending the proceeds to the Mission. See your tax attorney for details.
Host an Event
One way to support the campaign would be to host a simple informational meeting at your home or business so that your friends and associates can learn more. This could be an evening coffee and dessert meeting or a light breakfast meeting.
Arrange a Tour
Another way to support the campaign would be to arrange for your friends and associates to take a tour of the Mission to see the construction progress and tour the current emergency shelter.
