Ways to Contribute

      The Community Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit which raises money to support its agencies each year through its Annual Campaign each fall and its Golf Outing each spring. During the fall Annual Campaign, member agencies support The Community Fund’s efforts to raise funds for all the agencies and agree not to solicit the community during this period. The Golf Outing registration begins in January.

 A contribution of securities can benefit both you and The    Community Fund. A donation of securities allows you to deduct the full market value of the securities from your ordinary income with no transaction costs (brokerage fees are paid by The Community Fund) and avoid capital gains on any appreciation. Wire transfer of securities is the simplest way to donate. Please contact the office for instructions and request your broker to advise the office when a transfer is made (914)337-8808).  Stock Instructions 2010
