    Your donation to the lighthouse is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by tax law. Please donate now to help us preserve the lighthouse.

  • Donate Stock

    When you donate appreciated securities, you are able to deduct the gift as a charitable donation and avoid capital gains tax at transfer. This allows you to leverage a larger donation by using appreciated securities rather than cash to make your gift.

    Please contact Marilyn Rositzke at treasurer@halps.org to initiate your gift of stock.

  • Donate Cryptocurrency

    When you donate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, usually you owe no capital gains tax. Instead, when donating crypto, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto, and you avoid the capital gains tax that you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then donated to Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society.
