Peter — I hope this email finds you well and in good health. Tax time can be quite stressful, yet it’s also an important moment of reflection and planning for the future.

It’s essential to us here at Charity Navigator that you are fully up-to-date on all tax-smart giving options that are out there and might be beneficial to you and the causes you care about. Many Charity Navigator supporters find that donating stock to our organization (and their other favorite charities) greatly helps them every tax season. Donating appreciated assets helps them save on capital gains taxes while reducing federal or state taxes,* all while seeing more critical dollars go to the charities they love.

If you are in a position to do so, I hope I can count on you to make a stock or mutual fund donation in support of Charity Navigator today. Your support will help us drastically increase the number of charities with Impact & Results ratings by July.

The Impact & Results beacon provides you with insight into the actual impact a nonprofit has on the lives of those it serves. Organizations are rated on a scale of “not-cost effective” to “highly cost-effective” and are issued a cost-per-outcome impact statement. For example, we’ve determined that every $50 donated to Sightsavers can cure one person of blindness.

Your support today will lead to more giving to more impactful nonprofits, which means more children receiving proper nutrition, more housing stability for vulnerable populations, more trees being planted, and so much more.

Thanks for your careful consideration.

Warmest regards,

Grace
