Gifts of Stock or Securities
Giving the gift of stock or securities that have increased in value as you’ve owned them directly to Alive & Kickin is simple, and benefits both you and us!
Donating appreciated stock to a nonprofit organization can offer several benefits:
-
Tax deductions
By donating appreciated stock, you may be eligible for a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock at the time of the donation, up to 30% of your adjusted gross income. This can potentially provide a larger tax benefit than if you were to sell the stock and donate the cash.
-
Avoiding capital gains tax
If you were to sell the appreciated stock, you would be required to pay capital gains tax on the increase in value. However, if you donate the stock directly to a nonprofit organization, you can avoid paying capital gains tax.
Donating appreciated stock to a nonprofit organization can be a smart way to give to A&K while also receiving potential tax benefits. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to ensure that this strategy aligns with your overall financial goals.
