Keep Common Dreams Alive for Your Grandchildren by Becoming a Legacy Contributor

Last year, a long-time reader and supporter of Common Dreams left us a gift in his will. The gift was unexpected but deeply appreciated. This year, for the first time, Common Dreams has established a "Legacy Fund" to ensure the future of independent media outlets like Common Dreams.

Overwhelmingly, our readers are committed to social and economic justice, ecological survival, a single-payer health system, and independent voices in the news media. A legacy gift from you would support these values and keep Common Dreams alive for future generations.

For more information about this new initiative, contact aaron@commondreams.org

Grants, Stocks, Bonds, and Other Ways to Contribute

A charitable contribution of long-term appreciated securities — i.e. stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have realized significant appreciation over time — is one of the most tax-efficient of all ways to give. If you’ve held an appreciated stock or mutual fund for more than one year, you can donate those securities to and receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities, eliminating any capital gains assessments on the future sale of the securities (in some cases, more than 20%).
