ECFF is always in need of materials and services that help us to operate and maintain our pools and upgrade our facilities. Construction-related materials and services, and business-related services such as printing, advertising, auditing, and website development, are among the areas that we would welcome in-kind donations of goods and services.
Your business or organization could conduct a fundraiser for the benefit the Emerald Coast Fitness Foundation. Donations may be directed to specific programs such as the Athlete Assistance Fund, or Swimming Lessons, or capital improvements, or to our general operating fund.
Avoid the capital gains tax hit on stocks that have gained a great deal of value. Transfer the stock to ECFF at its current value. ECFF will sell the stock and benefit from the donation. Donor receives tax benefit of the donation at the current value and does not pay the capital gains tax on the increase in the price of the stock.
Please contact ECFF Treasurer, Kathi Heapy, for further information.
