Securities

This is a very tax efficient method of making a gift. The donor is entitled to a tax deduction for the full market value of the security donated on the date of the gift. The donor is not liable for the capital gains tax that would be incurred had the donor sold the security first before donating it.  Contact the Foundation office to discuss how to give securities.

The Endowment Fund is a permanent fund that is invested to provide for future support of the mission of the Foundation for Lovejoy Schools. An investment strategy is followed to maintain the long-term purchasing power of contributions to the Endowment Fund and to distribute investment growth or income generated to enhancing education in the Lovejoy ISD.
