If the stock has appreciated, you also may avoid capital-gains tax on the appreciation. Please notify us of your intention to transfer stock, and to facilitate your stock gift please provide this information to your broker:

Naming Opportunities

We are happy to meet with you to talk about ideas that have special meaning for you or for the person you wish to honor. We can take a walk around The Wild Center to look at examples of gifts that others have given, including birch trees in the Great Hall, Discovery Boxes in the Naturalist Cabinet, and quiet benches along the trails – all recognized as a testament to someone’s special love of the Adirondacks.

If you wish to meet with us to talk about what you might want to do for a friend or family member please contact Hillarie Logan-Dechene.
