Borgia Fund donations are tax-deductible. Each year the drive runs from July 1 through June 30. To contribute, you may make a pledge anytime during the drive and make payment before the end of the drive on June 30 of that year. In addition to cash donations, you may want to consider contributing appreciated securities; this type of gift can be advantageous because you may avoid capital gains taxes and reduce your taxable income by deducting the current full market value of the securities.
