Because your gift is not considered a sale of those securities, you avoid paying capital gains tax. Click this link for transfer instructions.

Many corporations fully or partially match the charitable contributions of its employees. Please check with your Human Resources department to determine if your company has an Employee Matching Gift Program and to request a matching gift form.

You can also donate to Lake Country School during your company’s United Way drive. On your United Way pledge form, just indicate that you want your donation or payroll deductions directed to Lake Country School at 3755 Pleasant Ave. S., Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55409. Your company’s Human Resources department can assist you in directing your gift. Please inform us of your gift so that we can track it with United Way.

(Note: If you make a gift to Lake Country School through United Way and use your company’s matching gift program, your match will go to United Way, NOT to Lake Country School.)
