You can use almost any type of asset to establish or add to a named charitable fund. And you can decide to do your giving today or in the future through a planned or legacy gift. Whatever your philanthropic objectives are, ACT has the tools and resources to help you organize your giving so it is strategic, flexible and effective.
When donors decide to give through ACT, they are provided with the maximum tax benefits allowed by law since we are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) public charity. As always, our staff is available to speak with you and your financial advisor. We look forward to assisting you.
Give Today
There's no better time than today to make a charitable contribution. By making a gift now, you can experience the joy of philanthropy and witness the difference your gift can make.
Gifts to ACT are tax-deductible
The Adirondack Community Trust is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, publicly supported organization serving the Adirondack Region and beyond. Contributions are fully deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Gifts of Cash
There is no easier way to garner a charitable deduction and support the causes that matter to you than simply writing a check.

Gifts of Stock
Giving long-term appreciated stock offers you a two-fold tax savings. First, donors avoid paying any capital gains tax on the increase in value of stock. In addition, donors receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift. For income tax purposes the value of such gifts may be deducted up to 30% of adjusted gross income, with an additional five-year carry forward.
