TBS News and Information

At TBS, every gift—large or small—helps sustain the vibrant community we’ve built together. Whether it’s supporting religious education, worship, or community programs, your generosity ensures that our Temple remains strong today and for generations to come.

One powerful way to give is through appreciated assets, such as stocks, bonds, or other marketable securities. For many people, this option provides a significant tax benefit:

• No income tax is charged on the gain of a donated asset.
• You may also be eligible for a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of your gift.

In other words, instead of selling the asset, paying capital gains tax, and donating what’s left, you can give the asset directly to TBS—allowing your generosity to have a greater impact.

Giving That Sustains the Future

Your appreciated assets can be used to support:

• Dues, religious school tuition, and other temple commitments
• Special pledges and donations to strengthen our programs
• Legacy Giving - ensuring a lasting foundation for TBS in the years ahead

TBS accepts marketable securities at its sole discretion. Once received, the assets are transferred to the Temple’s brokerage account and sold to meet your designated purpose

If you’re considering a gift of appreciated assets, please contact the TBS Treasurer before making your transfer. This helps us make sure your contribution is handled smoothly and directed according to your wishes.

Legacy giving isn’t just about numbers—it’s about building a future. Your gift today helps secure a warm, welcoming, and thriving TBS community for those who will come after us.
