Why Gifting Stock Is One of the Smartest Ways to Give Back

Turn Your Stock Gains Into Something Amazing

For donors like you seeking to make a lasting difference, a gift of appreciated stock is a smart choice that not only supports our mission but also offers you tax benefits.

If you have securities or mutual funds that have increased in value and been held for more than one year, you may reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. You may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities.

Another Option: A Future Stock Gift

Not interested in giving up your stocks during your lifetime? That’s OK!

You can include your stocks as a gift in your will or living trust or designate us as a beneficiary of your investment account though an account designation. You have the flexibility to change your mind at any time, plus you can continue to receive dividends and participate in shareholder votes.
