GIVE STOCKS
Donating stock can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.
What is the tax benefit of donating appreciated stock?
Donating appreciated stock that you’ve held for over a year can allow you to save up to 20% in capital gains taxes and up to 37% in federal income taxes on the charitable donation value of your gift based on your tax bracket when itemizing deductions.
To understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, including potential state tax savings, please consult with your tax professional for information about your personal tax implications.
What types of shares can I donate?
You can give any publicly traded stock. By donating assets that have appreciated in value for more than one year, you are more likely to get the highest tax benefits.
Can I give through my 401K or IRA?
We can process all whole shares of publicly traded stock, including 401Ks and IRAs. However, because donors often incur penalties for withdrawing these assets before a certain date, we highly recommend consulting your tax professional before donating these types of assets. Donating 401Ks or IRA could result in major tax penalties or even fewer tax benefits than donating cash.
