CASH, STOCK, OR PROPERTY GIFTS
ANNUAL
CAMPAIGN
Annually, CABVI conducts a campaign to raise
operating dollars for the current year. Gifts of cash contribute important funds
to provide rehabilitation, counseling, or information services during this year.
CABVI also appreciates gifts of stock or other
property. Gifts of appreciated stock can result in tax benefits for the donor.
The full fair market value of the stock can be tax-deductible and the donor is
not required to pay capital gains on the donated stock.
BEACON CIRCLE
Also, CABVI offers membership in The Beacon Circle.
The Beacon Circle is a multi-year giving club for people that pledge $1,000 or

- Listing in Viewpoint, CABVI's quarterly
newsletter, with other Beacon Circle members, if desired.
- Listing in CABVI's Annual Report, if desired.
- Invitation to special events for Beacon Circle
members.
