Gifts of Stock

Gifts of appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual funds can offer meaningful tax benefits while funding the critical fight for justice.

When you transfer ownership of stock or securities to Texas Defender Service, your gift may be deductible for the fair market value as of the date it reaches our account, subject to IRS limitations.

By giving a gift of stock, your generosity helps create second chances and lasting systemic change.

Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-smart giving account that allows you to support organizations you care about in a strategic and flexible way.

By recommending a gift through your donor-advised fund, you help people and communities harmed by excessive punishment in Texas.

Texas Defender Service is a 501(c)(3) organization eligible to receive distributions from donor-advised funds.
