Make a bigger impact by donating long-term appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to charity. Compared with donating cash or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may be able to automatically increase your gift and your tax deduction.

It’s simple and easy. When you donate stock to charity, you’ll generally take a tax deduction for the full fair market value. And because you are donating stock, your contribution and tax deduction may instantly increase over 20%. The same benefits apply to donated bonds or mutual funds.

Benefits of gifts of stocks and bonds

• Avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated stock
• Receive a charitable income tax deduction
• Further our mission today
