Appreciated stocks are an excellent way of contributing to the Legacy of Love program. Using securities that have appreciated in value permits the donor to deduct the full market value while avoiding taxes on the unrealized profits. Memorial gifts may be given to honor the memory of a loved family member or friend in perpetuity. They can also be designated to make a special occasion, such as the birth of a child or a wedding anniversary. Wills and bequests are a sound way of contributing to Legacy of Love , often with considerable tax advantages.
Insurance policies can designate The Arc of Orleans County as the beneficiary.
