Donate MetroCards Today
With a the donation of a single MetroCard, you can help a homeless individual access medical attention, search for housing and/or gain employment.
The cost of transportation is a primary barrier for many of our clients accessing services, searching for housing and securing
employment. In fact, 70% of clients in our job training program who are ready to work don’t have transportation to
and from job interviews.
Clients travel to:
- Internships (on their way to gaining employment)
- Job interviews
- Look at potential housing as they move from street to home
- Medical appointments, day treatment and rehabilitation programs
How Can You Help Today?
- Donate a card or cards with small amounts left on them – the MTA allows us to merge them onto a single card
- Donate a new card with a fixed number of rides
- Organize a drive at your office, school, social club, church or temple
For more information, contact Karen Trella at 212-736-7385, ext. 215 or ktrella@urbanpathways.org

Did You Know That a Donation of Stock Can Count For More?
Donating shares of appreciated stock to Urban Pathways
may help you save money on your taxes and help us to
fulfill our mission of responding to the problems of mentally
ill, homeless individuals through a continuum of care. |
|
The benefits
- You deduct the current fair market values of the shares on your taxes, not the price you originally paid for them.
- You avoid ever having to pay taxes on capital gains on the donated shares in the future.
- Essentially, you are donating with a monetary gain that you never realized and thus will never pay taxes on.
How does it work?
Say you bought 100 shares of a company when the stock was trading at $10 and those shares are now worth $50 each. If you donate the shares, you get to deduct $5,000 from your taxes, even though you only paid $1,000 for them.
In order to receive the full deduction you will need:
- to donate only long-term holdings, which the IRS defines as being held for 12 months or longer,
- the tax receipt Urban Pathways sends you upon receiving the donation, and
- a dated letter from your broker spelling out how many shares were donated to us.
And finally....
In order to realize the greatest possible tax savings, if you acquired a block of shares over time at different prices, be sure to donate the ones that you acquired at the lowest cost. Those shares contain the biggest amount of locked-in capital gain that you can avoid getting taxed on.
To donate a stock gift, please contact:
Karen Trella
Phone 212-736-7385, ext. 215 or Email: ktrella@urbanpathways.org.
Donate your appreciated stock today and help Urban Pathways provide homeless men
and women with the services they need to achieve stability and a better quality of life!
