Stakeholders Foundation was created in May 2008 with the purpose of raising funds to:

• Support the Mission and programs of The Stakeholders, Inc.

• Provide grants to community-based not-for-profit organizations that provide services in one of The Stakeholders Inc.’s focus areas (Adaptive Reuse, Arts & Culture, Civic Engagement and Environmental Sustainability)

• Create an Endowment Fund – held by the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region – that will allow The Stakeholders Inc.’s programs and initiatives to operate in perpetuity.

The Stakeholders in Your Estate Planning

Consult your financial advisor, attorney, or tax professional for information on your best options for including Stakeholders in a will or bequest. Determine how to benefit The Stakeholders while you gain tax benefits or life-long income through gifts or charitable remainder trusts.

Donate Stocks and Mutual Funds

Another cost-effective way to benefit The Stakeholders and gain significant tax deductions is through a gift of appreciated stocks, mutual fund shares, bonds, and other securities. Talk to your financial advisor, attorney, or tax professional to learn how to stay within IRS regulations and deduct the fully appreciated value of securities, in order to avoid capital gain taxes. Your donation costs you only the initial purchase price of the securities and results in a significant tax deduction, while The Stakeholders receives the full benefit of the current market value of your gift.
