- Gifts of Stock. Another way to support the Ausable Freshwater Center is via gifts of appreciated stock. Contact Kelley Tucker to transfer stock or other securities through our Raymond James & Associates account.
- Donor Advised Fund. A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program, administered by a third-party such as a community foundation (e.g. the Adirondack Foundation) or an investment firm. Talk to your advisor or, if you have a DAF with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, you can donate here using DAF Direct.

- Or, if you are age 70½ or older and have an Individual Retirement Account, you can donate up to $100,000 each year from your IRA. The distribution will not be taxed as income as long as: the charity is eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions, the charity is not a section 509(a)(3) supporting organization, and the withdrawal goes directly to the charity.
