Stocks & Securities

Held onto stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have grown in value? Consider gifting them to Frederick Rescue Mission!

By donating appreciated securities you’ve owned for over a year, you can:

  • Claim a federal income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the asset at the time of donation
  • Avoid paying capital gains tax entirely because the asset is transferred directly to the Mission instead of being sold first

In fact, with the tax savings, donating appreciated stock can often stretch your giving further than a cash gift! How it helps: Your gift provides maximum support for our programs while also offering a smart tax advantage for you.

Transfer Instructions

Your broker may ask you to put your request in writing. To complete the transfer, you can collect all necessary information from Amy Newton, Director of Finance: 
Phone: 301-695-6633
Email: anewton@therescuemission.org

Brenda Bell
Rescued Treasures Coordinator

Brenda coordinates the volunteers who sort clothes and assist guests in Rescued Treasures.

She has been working with people in poverty since 1981. She says, “First, I befriend them. Then I find out what they need and refer them to the program that could best help. I only help people who want help, and only in the ways they want help. Some people have addiction problems and don’t want to leave the street. I’m still their friend.”

Carol coordinates the programs at Faith House, working with residents to help them develop skills for independence. Carol also runs Crossed Bridges with her husband Jonathan. She enjoys playing any sport with a ball, crocheting, bike riding, and spending time with her husband and five children. 

“He who loves God must love his brother also.” (1 John 4:21) explains what wakes Carol up in the morning to begin a new day; being able to serve the Lord while working with people, whether it be administratively or relationally.
