Stock Giving

Thank you for supporting the ministries of NorthRidge!

Did you know you can donate to the ministries of NorthRidge through stocks?

You may transfer ownership of stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares. Marketable Securities are a great way to maximize your giving, because you receive an immediate income tax deduction for the full fair market value of your securities. In addition, you pay no capital gains tax on the difference between your cost and the fair market value.
