    Giving Appreciated Stock

    Giving stock that you’ve held for over a year can save you up to 37% in federal income taxes based on the value of the charitable gift when itemizing deductions and protect your realized gains from being subjected to long-term capital gains tax, which can be up to 20%.


    Consult with a tax professional to understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, including potential state tax savings.


    Giving Company Stock Outside the Trading Window

    If you received company-distributed stock as an employee and the trading window is not open, your brokerage will likely reject the transfer request. We suggest you ask your company for the trading windows and give during those time periods, which typically are open quarterly for three to four weeks at a time.

  • Claiming Your Charitable Tax Deduction

    To claim your charitable tax deduction, file Form 8283 for the 1040 tax return. To calculate how much to deduct from your taxes, the general rule of thumb is to deduct the fair market value, which is the average of the high/low price of the stock on the day it was received by the nonprofit. This is for assets you’ve held for more than a year. The date the stock was received by the nonprofit can be found in the acknowledgment letter you receive from the nonprofit. Include this letter in your tax return.

  • End-of-Year Contribution Statements

    We send your printed contribution statements by mail every year by January 31.
