When you transfer ownership of long-term holdings to Student Sponsor Partners, you receive a charitable deduction for their full-market value – and you incur no capital gains tax (subject to IRS deduction limits). According to IRS regulations, the date of your gift corresponds to the date it arrives in our possession (for transfers from brokerage account to brokerage account).

• Stocks & Securities Donations: Securities can be gifted to Student Sponsor Partners via electronic transfer or by physically mailing the paper certificates to 90 Broad Street, Suite 400, New York, NY 10004.

If you are 70.5 years old or older, you are eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). With a QCD, you can transfer up to $100,000 each year to a charity. As a QCD is not taxed and is not included in your taxable income, a QCD is an excellent way to support SSP and minimize your tax liability. This is especially true for those 73 or older, who are subject to a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from an IRA account. Keep in mind that QCDs only apply to IRA withdrawals and not employer-sponsored plans, such as 401(k)s. We are happy to answer any questions at giving@sspnyc.org, and we encourage you to include this option in conversations with your accountant, lawyer, or financial advisor.

Student Sponsor Partners’ uniquely integrated programs set students up for success, but obstacles along the way can affect their outcomes. We know from our students that their families sometimes struggle to afford basic needs we take for granted – for example, food, shelter, and school supplies. We established a Hardship Fund to address these needs because we are wholly invested in the success of our students throughout high school and beyond. If you’re interested in supporting the Hardship Fund now, please click here.
