- How do I donate stock?
- To transfer shares to the brokerage account of the beneficiary via electronic transfer, please email the Finance Director melissa@keeptahoeblue.org to receive specific instructions.
- Please include your name and contact information when transferring stock so the League can formally record and acknowledge your contribution.

Donate through your donor advised fund
What is a donor-advised fund?
- A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. If you have a donor-advised fund, DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to the League to Save Lake Tahoe, directly from your DAF.
- How does it work?
- Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
- Direct the investment allocation of the donated assets.
- Recommend grants to the charities you support, with the option of being recognized or remaining anonymous.
- Become eligible to take an immediate tax deduction.
