  • STOCK TRANSFERS: Making a contribution through a gift of stock is easy and cost effective.

    The Hub City Writers Project Fund at the Spartanburg County Foundation accepts donations of stock that can be transferred into our operating account. You may give stock and receive a tax deduction for its full market value, thus reducing capital gains tax on appreciated stock. This is often the most effective way to make a philanthropic gift. 
     
    For more information, read the online booklet about Gifts of Stock and contact the County Foundation at 864-577-9349.

     

  • PLANNED GIVING: Support the work of the Hub City Writers Project into the future.

    Planned gifts to the Hub City Writers Project can be made through your will, trust, retirement plan, IRA, life insurance policy, or other financial vehicle. Simply designate Hub City Writers Project as a beneficiary, or leave a charitable bequest. 
    Planned gifts can be simple, flexible, versatile, and offer tax relief. Planned giving is for everyone. You don’t need to be a certain age, or have a certain income level. You can structure the gift to leave a specific item or amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage of your estate to Hub City Writers Project. Because you are not actually making a gift until after your lifetime, you can change your mind or restructure your gift at any time. If your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift qualifies for an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift’s full value.

    For beneficiary designations
    Legal name: Hub City Writers Project
    Phone: (864) 577-9349
    EIN: 57-1059259
    When you inform Hub City Writers Project of your decision, we can arrange for your gift to be stewarded according to your wishes, and we can discuss how best to recognize you for your generosity. Contact us at (864) 577-9349 for more information.
