Donate Now to Support Scouting in Cape Fear Council

 

Outright gifts to Scouting can include cash, appreciated securities, personal property, and real estate, often resulting in income tax and charitable deductions.

 

Types of outright gifts

Cash: Direct donations of cash are a straightforward way to give and often qualify for tax deductions.

Appreciated securities: Donating appreciated stocks or bonds can allow you to avoid capital gains taxes on the increase in value.

Personal property: Gifts of personal items can be made, and depending on the item, may provide a tax deduction.

Real estate: Donating appreciated real estate can also be a way to support Scouting while potentially avoiding capital gains taxes.

The most direct way to make a gift is to contact Cape Fear Council to discuss options and the best way to structure your donation.
