Giving Appreciated Stock
Giving stock is simple, convenient, and impactful. Giving appreciated stock (held for one year or longer) offers greater tax benefits than donating cash. It is also a smart vehicle for "bunching" multiple years of charitable giving into a Donor Advised Fund.
Some advantages of giving appreciated stock:
- Receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock (up to 30% of your adjusted gross income)
- Avoid paying capital gains taxes
- Generously support the charities that are important to you on your own timetable
