CASH
Unless specifically designated in writing by a donor to be used for a specific purpose, such gifts shall be treated as unrestricted and used by GSCSNJ where it is needed most.

PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES
Gifts of publicly traded securities will be valued, for gift valuation purposes, at the median price on the date the full interest in the security is transmitted, along with all executed stock powers. GSCSNJ intends to sell the publicly traded securities and not to hold the securities for its own portfolio.

LIFE INSURANCE
Your gift to help keep our promise to girls may be made by naming Girl Scouts of Central & Southern NJ as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy. Gifts of life insurance will be valued, for contribution deduction purposes, on the cash surrender value as of the date of the transfer.

CHARITABLE TRUSTS
Consult with your attorney, accountant or financial advisor about naming Girl Scouts of Central & Southern NJ in a charitable trust, enabling you to make a gift which may have significant advantages for you as well as GSCSNJ.

REAL ESTATE
GSCSNJ is happy to talk with you and your financial advisor about the advantage of making a gift of real estate.

GIFTS OF OTHER TYPES OF TANGIBLE PROPERTY
Gifts of art, fine jewelry, antiques or other tangible property will be sold.

TESTAMENTARY GIFTS
Name the Girl Scouts of Central & Southern NJ in your will as the recipient of a designated amount or a percentage of your estate.

MATCHING GIFTS
If your company offers a matching gift, both you and the company receive recognition and you will credited in publications at the level equaling the total of your gift plus the matching gift.
