    Gifts of Stock or Appreciated Assets
    If you have stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, consider donating them directly to ARTSmemphis. This can help you avoid paying capital gains tax and allow you to receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the gift. 

    If the securities are held by a broker or banker, you can have the securities transferred directly to the ARTSmemphis account listed below: 

    Investment firm: Raymond James
    Account Number: 28606033 
    DTC: 725 

    Then contact Colleen McCartney (901.578.2787 or info@artsmemphis.org) to alert ARTSmemphis that a gift of stock is being made. 

    Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
    If you have a donor-advised fund, you can recommend a grant to ARTSmemphis before year- end.  Tax ID #: 62-0693547 

    Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
    For those over 70½, making a QCD directly from your IRA to ARTSmemphis counts toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) and is excluded from your taxable income. You are eligible to direct up to $108,000 per person from an IRA to charity in 2025, lowering your overall tax burden.
