GIVE THE GIFT OF STOCK
If you want to help retired K-9 heroes and save money on your taxes, consider donating appreciated securities. Appreciated securities are stocks, mutual funds, or bonds that have increased in value since you bought them. When you donate appreciated securities, you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value, and you can also claim a charitable income tax deduction.
STOCK ADVANTAGES
Tax Deductible
The amount of the deduction is
equal to the fair market value
of the stock on the day of the donation.
You could avoid capital gains tax.
Simplicity
Donating stock is a relatively simple
process. You can donate stock online
below or by phone.
Impact
You can give more to the non-profits
you support than you could if you sold
the stock and donated the proceeds.
