Support Veterans. Support Social Entrepreneurship. Support Learners.
Support GCSEN this Holiday Season
Give the Gift of Stock Donation
Gifts of a stock donation are mutually beneficial for the visionary philanthropist donating to GCSEN Foundation. When you donate your stock, you will gift more money than you would have been able to if you were to sell the stock, as you likely won’t have to pay the long-term capital gains tax. The ROI for your appreciated stock donation will truly be the gift that keeps giving, as GCSEN inspires, teaches and support our Veterans as they build legacy family businesses in the years to come.
Tax Benefits with a Stock Donation
Long-term appreciated securities (assets held for more than one year) are the most popular type of non-cash gift. They can include publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, and closely-held stock. When you donate your stock as opposed to selling it, you will likely be able to use the stock donated to GCSEN Foundation as a fully tax deductible gift. Speak with your financial advisor to learn more about the benefits of gifting stock.
Veterans Ventures for 4P Impact
Our Veterans Programs combine the AI supported acceleration of Veterans Ventures for 4P Impact (merging 4P Social Entrepreneurship with AI) along with AI-based Career Navigation for renewed Passion and Purpose and increased Peace and Prosperity. Our programs have been utilized by colleges, universities, and Veterans’ organizations for a decade, with more than 1500 graduates worldwide.

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: The concept & practice of businesses and nonprofits reinvesting to create sustainable communities based on: PEOPLE, PROFIT, PLANET & PLACE (the 4P’s).
For the past ten years, GCSEN has accelerated Social Entrepreneurship in college students and adult learners throughout 14 countries, including the United States, Ireland/EU, and in the Caribbean. Many GCSEN participants have opened their own business ventures based on participation in GCSEN seminars, workshops and boot camps, resulting in hundreds of Social Enterprises creating generational wealth with millions in revenue and positive 4P impacts.
GCSEN has now begun an innovative business venture startup Program for US Military Veterans. All GCSEN Programs are sponsor-funded, but for this program, GCSEN is awarding scholarships for participant Veterans and military families on a highly selective basis.
Since 2015, GCSEN has been partially self-funded by our Founder, Fulbright Scholar and GCSEN Foundation President Mike Caslin. Additional funding has come from foundation grants, family offices and individual donations. Our IRS approved 501 (c3) nonprofit is audited annually by Charity Navigator, earning a 4 Star rating. And we continue to develop strategic program partnerships with entities that share our mission: To make money, make meaning, and move the world to a better place…
