Donate Stock
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 instead of liquidating them and gifting the remaining cash after you’ve paid up to 23.8% in federal capital gains tax.

Vehicle Donations
Donating a car to Front Porch Cohousing provides a tax deduction for the donor while helping our charity. We can sell your donated car and use that money to offset the cost of housing for adults with autism or intellectual and developmental disabilities. We can also sell the car’s parts to raise funds, or we can distribute it to people in need.
