The North
Shore Choral Society
is a not-for-profit community
chorus which has served
this area for more than
seventy years,
giving many hundreds
of non-professional singers
the opportunity to perform choral masterworks,
both classical and contemporary.
The NSCS is a member
of the Illinois Arts Alliance
and is partially supported
by grants from the Illinois Arts Council,
an agency of the State
of Illinois.
Principal support, however, comes
from individual and corporate sponsors as well as ticket sales. Your
contribution, large or small, is important. Please consider becoming a sponsor
of the North Shore Choral Society.
There may be significant tax benefits in donating appreciated stock
to the North Shore Choral Society. Learn more.

Information about gifts of stock to the North Shore Choral Society
The North Shore Choral Society is the grateful recipient of contributions
from its audience, membership, and
the general public. The following
paragraphs describe how donors with
appreciated stock can get the greatest
benefit from their gifts. Detailed
information one needs for the stock transfer process is included.
Assume, shall we, that you have appreciated stock and you might like to make a contribution to NSCS? Let’s look
at your options:
- Should you use your hard-earned (after-tax) dollars to contribute? If
you do, of course, you will be able
to deduct the value of your contribution
on your Federal tax return, which
is a nice benefit. But
this is not the wisest
use of your resources.
- Should you sell some of your stock and then contribute the
proceeds of the sale? Again, you will be able to deduct
the value of your contribution – BUT, you will be taxed
on the amount by which your stock grew since you purchased it. Again,
not the wisest use of your resources.
- Probably, the wisest action is to contribute shares of appreciated
stock to the NSCS. That
way, you won't pay capital gains
tax on the stock's growth in value
AND you get to deduct the value
of the stock, as well! You help
yourself while helping the North
Shore Choral Society. (Note that this works best with stock that has grown in value while you've owned it.)
As you know, bank accounts, including ours, cannot receive donations
of stock shares directly. Your stock
shares need to be transferred into
an appropriate brokerage account in
order to execute your donation. NSCS
has established a brokerage account
with Vanguard to receive such donations.
After receiving donated shares in
our Vanguard Brokerage Account, we
will sell them and deposit the proceeds
into our bank account, and we will gratefully furnish you a tax letter. Here
is the information your broker needs
