How You Can Help Us Grow
Extension Master Gardeners are community educators who teach science-based, sustainable home gardening practices that address issues directly affecting friends and neighbors in our communities. Our ability to address critical issues, including climate change, pollinator protection, and food security in King County is fueled by our 700+ Extension Master Gardener volunteers and by generous financial contributions from friends and supporters like you.

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds is quick, surprisingly simple and may provide you with significant tax benefits.
There are three easy steps to giving:
Step 1: Send us an email at treasurer@mgfkc.org to give us your name, address and gift information.
Step 2: We will send you broker stock transfer information. Please watch your email for a response from treasurer@mgfkc.org.
Step 3: MGFKC will sell the stock and send you a tax receipt using the contact information you provide. Your gift of securities to MGFKC is valued at an average of the low and high trading prices on the date of the gift.
You receive the potential deduction for the amount of the charitable donation, and you don’t pay capital gains tax on the sale.
If you have any questions, please contact president@mgfkc.org.
Donors who are age 70 1/2 or older can contribute up to $100,000 from their IRA directly to a charity and avoid paying income taxes on the distribution. Known as a qualified charitable distribution, it is limited to IRAs. Discuss with your financial advisor the benefits of also donating retirement assets as part of your estate plan.
If you have any questions, please contact president@mgfkc.org.
