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 and the general public. The following
paragraphs describe how donors with appreciated stock can get
the greatest benefit from their gifts, and provide specific information
about how to transfer their stock.
Assume, shall we, that you have appreciated stock and you would
like 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 isn’t 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.
The wisest action is to contribute the stock itself to
the NSCS. That way, you won’t pay tax on the stock’s
growth 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.)
There’s only one logistical problem. Stock in your
account may only be transferred into
another brokerage account – it
can’t be accepted by our bank. So,
NSCS has established a brokerage account
to receive such donations. After
receiving the stock in our Vanguard
Brokerage Account, we can sell it and
deposit the proceeds into our bank
account. Here is
the information your broker needs to
transfer stock into our account:
