Donating financial stock or equity is a great way to support our mission.
When you donate your appreciated stock, mutual funds, or bonds to the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, we use the proceeds to support the community-uplifting power of the Library!
A benefit to donating stock is that you will not need to pay any capital gains tax on the appreciated value and the total value of your gift may be tax-deductible. As always, we recommend that you consult your tax or financial professional for advice before making charitable donations.
The first step in making a gift of this type is to provide your brokerage firm with securities transfer information. Please contact us via the contact form below to initiate the process.
Giving through a DAF is a simple, impactful way to support our mission.
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a flexible and tax-efficient way to support the Library Foundation of Los Angeles. DAFs allow you to contribute to a charitable giving account, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to nonprofit organizations over time.
How Does a Donor-Advised Fund Work?
Important Note on Sponsorship Donations
Please note that we are unable to accept event sponsorships through Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs). Per IRS regulations, DAF grants cannot provide a direct benefit to the donor, including sponsorship benefits such as event tickets or other promotional recognition. To comply with these guidelines, we kindly ask that sponsorship contributions or event ticket purchases be made via personal, corporate, or foundation funds rather than through a DAF.
If you wish to recommend a DAF grant to the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, please direct contributions to:
