Gifts of appreciated stock are a tax-efficient way to support EBMC. In many cases, you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the stock, receive a charitable tax deduction for its full current value, and help ensure that 100% of the transferred value benefits EBMC. If you'd like to make a stock gift, please contact Cassandra Shaylor, Development Director, for transfer instructions and to let us know the details of your gift so we can acknowledge it properly.
To make a stock gift, ask your broker to make the transfer using the following information and let us know your gift is on the way:
• Account Name: East Bay Meditation Center
• Account Number: 4018-7469
• DTC Number: 0164, Code 40
• Tax ID Number: 94-3376180
Planned gifts help ensure that EBMC can continue offering meditation practice, wisdom teachings, healing, and community for generations to come. Many people choose to support EBMC by naming the Center as a beneficiary in a will, living trust, retirement account, life insurance policy, or other planned giving vehicle.
If you're considering a legacy gift, please contact Cassandra Shaylor, Development Director, for more information.
EBMC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 94-3376180).
