Stocks in a closely held
corporation may make an attractive gift to CCSS . If you give closely held
stock, you can claim an income tax deduction (for its appraised fair market
value), avoid the capital gains tax liability, and remove this liquid asset
from your estate. |

Wills are one of the
simplest ways to distribute an estate. They can also be a creative vehicle
through which to make thoughtful gifts. After providing for the needs of your
loved ones, you may choose one of several ways to benefit CCSS. By having
your attorney revise your will or add a simple amendment, you can make a gift
of a dollar amount, specific property, a percentage of your estate, or the
remainder after your loved ones have been provided for. |

There are certain tax
benefits for volunteer service. You can deduct the cost of gas and oil that
are directly related to getting to the organization where you are a volunteer
or you can simply deduct 12 cents for each mile. (Personal note: You come in
contact with a lot of very nice people who are also volunteering.) |

An endowment fund is one
where the donation itself is held in reserve, not to be used except in the
case of extreme emergency, while the charity is able to use the interest
generated from the fund. Thus, the charity is more likely to have long-term
stability. One or two bad years with donations won't sink the organization.
While a large donation to the endowment fund will result in the donor's name
added to a permanent plaque located at CCSS 's main office in Escondido
California. (if the donor so wishes), any amount can be donated to CCSS
through the endowment fund. |

This program started in
1974 when a donor died and the family asked that money be sent to CCSS in
lieu of flowers. Later Tributes to living people were added as others sent in
money to honor someone. In 1985, the memorials and tributes started being
listed in the CCSS newsletters. When someone requests a memorial or a
tribute, a card is sent to the person or family designated, saying that the
donor has made a donation to CCSS to help the needy in memory of, or in honor
of the person named. An acknowledgment is also sent to the donor. |
