Donate Securities
Greater impact for our mission, and a greater charitable tax credit for you.
-
Avoid Capital Gains Tax
Avoid capital gains tax on appreciated securities by donating them directly before selling them. You keep more, and we receive more–it's a win-win!
-
Maximize Your Deductions
Receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the donated securities, potentially lowering your overall tax bill.
-
Simplified Process
Many brokerages can directly transfer your securities, eliminating the need to sell them yourself.
Your tax-efficient gift translates to a larger overall contribution, allowing us to better serve our community.
