Friends of Waipahu High School welcomes gifts of securities as a valuable way to support our mission while providing financial benefits to our donors. Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have appreciated in value can be a highly effective means of contributing to our cause. This method of giving allows donors to avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of their securities, potentially providing a larger donation than if they were to sell the securities and donate the proceeds after tax. Furthermore, donors may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of the securities at the time of the donation.

Our process for accepting gifts of securities is designed to be straightforward and efficient, ensuring that the transfer benefits both the donor and Friends of Waipahu High School. Donors are encouraged to contact their financial advisor to initiate the transfer, and we are here to assist every step of the way, from providing transfer instructions to acknowledging and celebrating your generous support. By choosing to donate securities, you are not only making a significant impact on the educational opportunities for Waipahu High School students and faculty but also optimizing your financial and philanthropic objectives.
