Stock Donations

Did you know that a gift of your appreciated stock to Amethyst Place is a much better option for YOU rather than giving cash or writing us a check? Stock gifts benefit YOU a lot more by saving you capital gains taxes and reducing the cost of your gift! Learn how stock gifts can help you be even more generous while enjoying tax and financial benefits for YOU by contacting Sarah Knopf-Amelung, at Amethyst Place at 816-343-4937 or sarah@amethystplace.org.

Gift Planning

Your philanthropy should start with YOU… and the gift you consider making to help Amethyst Place the one that is most meaningful for YOU. Gift Planning is simple and FREE… and helps you find the BEST way for you to make a gift that benefits YOU as well as the women and families we serve.

A mix of cash gifts and appreciated stock save you taxes. You can also support the future of Amethyst Place by including a bequest in your estate plan, or perhaps making a beneficiary designation on your IRA, retirement account, or life insurance policy you may not need.
