Donating Stocks and Bonds

To give a donation of stocks and bonds to Walking Shield, Inc., we have been setup with Union Bank Investment Services.
The best stocks to donate are those that have increased greatly in value, particularly those producing a low yield. Even if it is stock you wish to keep in your portfolio, by giving us the stock and using cash to buy the same stock through your broker, you will have received the same income tax deduction but will have a new, higher basis in the stock.

To learn more about donating stocks and bonds, please contact John Castillo, Exectutive Director, Walkiing Shield, Inc. at (657) 900-2197 or [email protected].

Developing Partnerships

In addition to individual and community group support, much of Walking Shield’s long term funding is derived from private corporations, foundations and government agencies. Many of our corporate sponsors encourage their employees to give to Walking Shield and often match these initial donations. Walking Shield is always looking for opportunities to develop new grant partnerships. If you have a connection to a possible funding source through a friend or family member introduce them to our staff.
