Put Stock in Something That Matters
Did you know that when you donate stock, you avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? When you give stock, you may earn 2-3x the tax savings vs. donating cash. It’s a win-win for you and us. And now it’s fast, safe, and easy to do.

Donate stock to charity for bigger tax savings
Don’t leave money on the table
As an investor, you could be making a greater impact on your favorite charity and saving more on taxes by donating stock instead of cash. Be sure to get the most bang for your charitable buck.
Donating to charity feels good. So does the tax deduction. It’s not surprising that nearly 75% of high-income taxpayers donate cash to charity. But fewer than 10% donate marketable securities. This is surprising given the tax advantages of donating long-term appreciated securities (i.e., those held for more than one year) versus cash.
When you donate appreciated securities to a qualified charity, the fair market value is deducted from your taxable income, and neither you nor the charity will be taxed on the capital gain. Therefore, you can make a bigger impact with your charitable donation by gifting your stocks rather than liquidating them and gifting the cash that remains after you’ve paid up to 23.8% in federal capital gains tax.
