Stock Donations as Legacy Gifts

Donate Stocks

One of the biggest tax advantages in charitable giving continues to be the double benefit donors receive when donating appreciated assets to Fresno's Chaffee Zoo Corporation instead of cash. By giving appreciated assets (like stocks held for more than one year), you'll receive a charitable tax deduction for the full value of the asset and avoid any capital gains tax that would have applied if you had sold the stock and made your gift in cash.

Please provide the following information in your request when directing your broker to transfer your shares to Fresno's Chaffee Zoo Corporation:

• Fresno's Chaffee Zoo Corporation
• 1250 W. Olive Ave.
• Fresno, CA  93728
• EIN: 42-1661145

• Please call for Fresno's Chaffee Zoo Corporation's account number.

It is important to notify Fresno's Chaffee Zoo Corporation of the specifics of this transaction (stock name, share quantity, gift designation) so we can credit your gift appropriately. Please contact Stephanie Regevig at 559-385-2707 or sregevig@fresnochaffeezoo.org.
