Donate Stock. Strengthen Public Safety.

Donating appreciated stocks or securities is one of the most tax-efficient and impactful ways to support the Galveston Community Police Foundation.

A gift of stock allows you to invest in the safety, stability, and future of our community—while potentially reducing your tax burden.


Why Donate Stock?

When you donate stocks or securities that have increased in value, you may be able to:

Avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value

Receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the gift (within IRS guidelines)

Maximize your impact without reducing your cash on hand

Many donors find that a stock gift allows them to give more than they might otherwise be able to through a traditional cash donation.

Please consult your financial or tax advisor to determine how a stock gift applies to your individual situation.


Why Give to the Galveston Community Police Foundation?

Your stock donation directly supports the men and women of the Galveston Police Department by funding initiatives beyond the scope of city budgets, including:

Recruitment and retention of high-quality officers

Specialized training and equipment

Programs that enhance officer wellness and readiness

Resources that strengthen public safety and community trust

These investments help ensure Galveston remains a safe place to live, work, and visit.


A Gift With Lasting Impact

Because the Galveston Community Police Foundation is locally focused, your donation makes a tangible difference right here at home. A gift of stock helps us respond to real-time needs, invest in long-term solutions, and support officers who serve our community every day.
