GIFTS OF CASH

- Mail a Check. Community Foundation, 233 Lake Avenue, Suite B, Traverse City, MI 49684. Make your check payable to the Community Foundation with the fund to which you are giving noted in the memo line.
GIFTS OF STOCKS AND BONDS
A gift of your securities, including stocks and bonds, is an easy way for you to make a gift. By making a gift of your appreciated securities, you can avoid paying the capital gains taxes that would otherwise be due if you sold these assets.
