Ways To Give

A wonderful way to support the Aspetuck Land Trust is to provide a gift of a marketable assets.  These assets can be cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate of other marketable assets. What is important to understand is that in most cases if you donate appreciated assets you will receive a tax benefit on the full value of what you donated. For example, if you bought a stock at $10 a share and it is now worth $100 a share, your tax deduction is $100 per share. 

Another way to provide the Aspetuck Land Trust with a gift today is through donating your required minimum distributions from your retirement program. In the case where you are required to take a minimum distribution from an IRA, retirement plan asset or other retirement annuity you can save on your overall taxes by donating your taxable minimum distributions. In this case, you can avoid paying income taxes on the distribution and get a full tax deduction for the value of what you donate to the Aspetuck Land Trust.
