Donating stock may have tax advantages above a donation of cash. Normally the sale of stock would generate capital gains tax on the increased value of the stock, but a gift of appreciated stock to a charitable organization is one way to avoid the tax. The donor does not have to pay the tax on capital gains and is eligible for a tax deduction for the value of the stock on the day it is transferred to the charity.

Stocks transferred electronically do not come with any identifying information and we want to be sure that you are promptly thanked and receipted.
