Donate Securities

Did you know donating securities can significantly impact our mission to alleviate hunger?

  • 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

    Skip the hassle! 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.

Greater impact for our charity, and a greater charitable tax credit for you.
