Gift by Donor Advised Fund, Stock, or Check.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a convenient charitable giving program that allows you to combine favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support CIS Central Texas.
DAFs can be established through your financial institution or a community foundation.

When making a gift through your DAF, you will need this information:

Organization Name: Communities In Schools of Central Texas
Address: 2521 E St. Elmo Rd, Austin, Texas 78744
Tax ID: 74-2369020

You may recommend a one-time or recurring grant from your DAF. If your provider allows it, you can also use our DAF Widget below to look up your fund and make a gift directly.

Gifts of Stock

Making a gift of stock is simple and offers several financial benefits:

  • Receive a tax deduction equal to the fair-market value of the stock

  • Potentially reduce capital gains tax

  • Provide meaningful support to CIS students

How to Make a Stock Gift

Step 1: Complete the Transfer
If your shares are held at a brokerage or financial institution, please contact Communities In Schools of Central Texas to receive the account information and required identification numbers needed to complete the transfer.

Step 2: Notify Us
Email giving@ciscentraltexas.org to inform us of your gift.
Providing advance notice ensures we can properly identify your transfer and issue a timely receipt.

Receipts for stock gifts are mailed as soon as the transfer is complete and donor information is confirmed.
