Ocean River Ducks and Paddlers Store

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the comments you’ll receive when displaying Ocean River Institute logo and images. Our Labrador duck, canoe, and paddle stirring the waters will raise many a bravo!

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

You may also support the Ocean River Institute by gifting appreciated securities, giving to the Ocean River Institute Fund at the Essex County Community Foundation.

You can secure significant tax advantages by making a gift of securities – stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. A gift of stock held longer than one year allows you to avoid paying capital gains tax. You also receive an income tax deduction for the current market value of the gift, deducting gifts totaling up to 30% of your adjusted gross income in any year, with a five-year carryover for any excess.

Please note that your gift is not considered complete for tax purposes until the securities are received in ORI’s brokerage account.  Act now to take advantage of this opportunity before December 31.
