Gifting Stock
to the Armenian EyeCare
Project
Our mission at the EyeCare
Project is to eliminate
preventable blindness
in Armenian. With your
help, we can bring hope
and sight to the eyes
of Armenian children
and adults. Choose one
of several ways of gift
giving to share with
those who need your help.
Appreciated securities are
perhaps the most cost-effective
assets to use in making
a gift.
Gifts of stock are immediately
converted to cash and
used to support our patient
care programs in Armenia.
When you transfer ownership
of long-term holdings
to the U.S. Fund for
the EyeCare Project,
you receive a charitable
deduction for their full
market value—and you
incur no capital gains
tax (subject to IRS deduction
limits).
According to IRS regulations,
the date of your gift
corresponds to the date
it arrives in our possession
(for transfers from brokerage
account to brokerage
account). You may donate
stock by following three
easy steps:
- Request
