For many donors, giving appreciated stocks and other non-cash assets may offer additional tax benefits over a cash gift.
Consider the possible advantages:
- If you have stocks or other securities that have increased in value, selling them can leave you with a hefty tax bill. By donating the stock, you can potentially avoid capital gains tax.
- When you donate stocks, you’ll receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value. You‘ll retain your cash assets and receive a break on your taxes.
Please talk to your tax advisor to find out if donating stocks and other securities makes sense for you.
