Dear Brethren of the Oregon Scottish Rite,
As you file your 2021 taxes before Tax Day, we encourage our Scottish Rite Brethren to remember the values that support our tenets of Truth, Brotherly Love, and namely, Charity.
In considering your financial journey for the year ahead, this last value (Charity) is of particular importance. You can make a difference in the lives of children in Oregon and their families who support them, while creating a benefit for your finances.
One powerful way to give is by donating stock to the Oregon Scottish Rite Speech and Language Charity. When you transfer appreciated assets, you avoid paying the capital gains tax, meaning there are potential tax savings coming your way!
In addition, you are eligible to take a charitable deduction for the entire donation amount if you itemize deductions.
I hope you consider this powerful way to support the Oregon Scottish Rite Speech and Language Charity, and your savings, this tax season.
Sincerely and fraternally,
Bruce Kundert, 33°, I∴G∴H∴
President
Oregon Scottish Rite Speech and Language Charity
