Donating stocks or other appreciated securities is a simple way to support our organization. When you give appreciated stocks directly, you can avoid paying capital gains tax, and your donation can be more impactful.

• Tax Benefits: You may receive a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock. 
• Avoid Capital Gains Tax: You don’t pay taxes on the increase in value of the stock. 
• Maximize Your Giving: More of your gift goes directly to our programs. 
• Convenient: Easy to transfer through your brokerage account.

Note: There may be small administrative fees based on the size of your fund.

1. Contact your broker with our organization’s stock transfer information. 
2. Transfer the stock directly to our account. 
3. Let us know about the gift so we can thank you and provide the right documentation for your taxes.

1. Gifts of stock are often most beneficial when they’re long-term holdings (owned for more than a year). 
2. Please consult your financial advisor for personalized advice.
