Give Shares of Appreciated Stock

Make a difference in the fight for the Second Amendment by contributing appreciated stock.

Rather than giving cash contributions, many of our supporters prefer to directly transfer shares of appreciated stock.

This is a smart strategy for donors who would owe a Capital Gains Tax upon sale of the shares.

Instead of selling the shares, paying Capital Gains Taxes, and then using what is left of the proceeds to make contributions…

…simply give the shares directly to the National Association for Gun Rights.

As a non-profit, the Association does not pay Income or Capital Gains Taxes when it sells your shares, so 100% of your stock gift will go directly to our programs to protect and defend the Second Amendment!

If you would like to make a stock gift to the National Association for Gun Rights, please fill in your name and method of contact below, and Gary Miller, Director of Development, will be in touch with you personally.

Have you considered adding the National Association for Gun Rights as a beneficiary in your will?

You know as well as anyone that the Second Amendment protects all of the rest of our constitutionally-protected rights. Your legacy of support will help ensure the Second Amendment is protected for future generations.

Your Last Will and Testament is the ultimate statement of what matters most to you — the people you love and the values and principles you hold dear.

This isn’t just an exercise for the wealthy. No bequest is too small. Every bequest is appreciated.

Each and every one of these gifts is a testament to our members’ love of individual liberty. Together, their collective strength serves as a bedrock for ensuring the Second Amendment stands as the biggest bulwark against tyranny!

If you are ready to include the National Association for Gun Rights in your will, there are three simple ways to do so with sample language below:

Scenario 2: Make a Percentage Bequest

• give a percentage of your estate
• “I give and bequeath to The National Association for Gun Rights of 2300 W. Eisenhower Blvd, Loveland, CO 80537 ___% of the total value of my estate to be used as the organization determines.”

Scenario 3: Make a Residual Bequest

• “I give and bequeath to The National Association for Gun Rights of 2300 W. Eisenhower Blvd, Loveland, CO 80537 the rest, residue, and remainder residual of my estate, to be used as the organization determines.”

Name the National Association for Gun Rights as a beneficiary for a retirement account or life insurance policy

Continue your legacy of fighting to protect the Second Amendment by naming the National Association for Gun Rights as a beneficiary of your IRA, retirement account, or life insurance policy.

Your legacy of support will help ensure the Second Amendment is protected for future generations.

This is even simpler than amending your will. It generally requires just your signature and the Association’s designation on a beneficiary form.

Leaving your IRA to non-profits like the National Association for Gun Rights and reserving more tax-favorable assets for heirs makes for smart estate planning.

As a non-profit, the Association does not pay Income Taxes when it sells your assets, so 100% of your gift will go directly to our programs to protect and defend the Second Amendment!

Likewise, some donors choose to make the National Association for Gun Rights the beneficiary of paid-up life insurance policies that have outlived their original purpose.

Each and every one of these gifts is a testament to our members’ love of individual liberty. Together, their collective strength serves as a bedrock for ensuring the Second Amendment stands as the biggest bulwark against tyranny!
