Making a donation to CPSF in memory or honor of a loved one is a wonderful way to celebrate them with a special gift. Simply let us know the name of the person you wish to remember or honor, and a name/address for the family of the person being honored so that we can send a note to acknowledge the gift. You can include names and addresses in the comment box on the online form, or include a note with your check.

Donor-advised funds (DAF) is another way to have an impact on Vermont cancer patients and their families. A DAF works like an investment account from which you can award yearly grants to IRS-approved 501(c)(3) charities. Funds accept such assets as cash, stocks, bonds and more, typically offering immediate tax deductions for those charitable contributions. 

Current clients of Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and BNY Mellon may donate directly on our website by clicking the Donor-Advised Fund button above.

Giving stocks or bonds to CPSF is a great way to increase your support of cancer patients in Vermont.

When you donate appreciated assets like stocks or bonds to a charitable organization like CPSF, you generally don’t have to pay capital gains and you may be able to take an income tax deduction for the full fair-market value. This deduction could be up to 30% of your adjusted gross income. For those who are older than 70.5, your Required Minimum Distribution from a traditional IRA is another way to support CPSF while realizing some tax benefits. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor to determine what is the best option for you.
