During this season of giving, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to the SOT Endowment Fund. Your support of the SOT Endowment Fund helps build a sound financial future for the Society of Toxicology and continued development of the field of toxicology.
Over the past six years, over 120 student travel awards as well as other valuable endeavors have been supported via the various Endowment Funds. I encourage you to make a gift to the SOT Endowment Fund in 2012–2013 if you have not already done so.
You can help us by making a tax-deductible donation to one of the many funds that SOT sets aside for special awards and services. Making a contribution is a great way to demonstrate your commitment to the future of SOT, toxicology, and your profession.
All contributions greater than $40 are recognized on the Honor Roll of Contributors. We look forward to adding your name to this prestigious list of Endowment Fund supporters.
There are many convent ways to give:
Send a Check: you can give your gift by sending it through the mail.
Credit Card: you can add your support by providing SOT the type of card, account number, expiration date, and the amount of your contribution.
Make a Tribute Gift: honor someone special in your life by giving a gift in their name to SOT. We'll send that individual a personalized card from you for their birthday, wedding, or any other special occasion.
Why Make a Gift of Stock?
If you itemize your tax returns, gifts of securities currently entitle you to a federal income tax charitable deduction. In the case of appreciated securities, you may deduct the full fair market value of your gift once you have held onto the securities for at least one year. You are permitted to carry any unused deduction forward for up to five additional years. In addition, you will avoid paying capital gains tax on the stock you donated to SOT.
According to IRS regulations, the date of your gift corresponds to the date it arrives in our possession (for transfers from brokerage account to brokerage account).
To make arrangements to transfer stock to the SOT Endowment account, visit the website or contact Clarissa Russell Wilson.
Society of Toxicology Endowment Fund Federal Tax Identification Number: 52-605-7050
You will receive a letter confirming the value of your tax deduction.
The Society of Toxicology and the SOT Endowment Fund hope you will assist us in kicking off this holiday season and this season of giving by making a donation to the Society of Toxicology Endowment Fund. The Society will match dollar-for-dollar contributions made to the Education Fund, the Global Activities Fund, and the SOT Strategic Priorities Fund.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to making 2013 another successful year for building for the future of toxicology!
