Option 4: Make a Gift of Stock
Through DREAM's partnership with the Vermont Community Foundation we can accept gifts of appreciated securities. These gifts of stock have tax advantages for the donor. The capital gains tax that would apply if you sold the shares yourself is avoided, and income taxes are reduced by the full market value of the shares on the day they are gifted to the DREAM Program. This enables many donors who have made gains in the stock market to make a larger gift at a lower cost than an outright contribution and clear their portfolios of highly appreciated, low income producing assets. Contact Michael Loner at mloner@dreamprogram.org or (802) 338-8979 for information on how to make a gift of stock.

Would You Like to Help in Other Ways?
Donor support is critical to the effective implementation of our programs. For some other creative ideas on how you can support The DREAM Program, Inc., please take a look at our general wish list or camp wish list below.
Out of respect for the people who donate funds and goods, and for the staff who spend time and energy acquiring funds and goods, we have pledged to follow this  Gear and Money Policy. Outside help allows our program to grow and thrive; we can't thank our donors and sponsors enough for their continuing support!
There are tons of ways to support DREAM beyond financial involvement!
