The Foundation exists to provide financial assistance to River Landing residents in need and, on occasion, to provide special equipment and services to enhance our residents’ lives. You can help build our Foundation’s resources through different kinds of gifts:

Gifts of Cash, In Honor or In Memory

Cash is often the most convenient form of giving. Cash gifts are deductible for federal income tax purposes, assuming deductions are itemized. Cash gifts in honor or in memory of loved ones are great ways to honor someone special or to remember someone who has passed.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

Gifts of appreciated securities may be made as outright gifts or to pay for a pledge. Stock certificates may be reassigned directly to The River Landing at Sandy Ridge Foundation or may be transferred through your broker. The mean market value on the date of transfer determines the value of the gift for tax purposes. Capital gains tax is not due when the stock is transferred to the Foundation. Please contact Marcia Johnston, Director of Development and Public Relations, by phone at (336) 886-6553, ext. 5118, or by email before a transfer is made.
