You will receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of donated securities that you have owned more than one year and you will avoid the capital gains tax on the appreciated value.

Why we give stock: one family’s experience
“We made a gift of stock to gain a double bonus when it came to tax time: no capital gains taxes on selling the stock and a tax deduction for a charitable donation. It allowed us to give a greater amount than we would have been able by using cash, which we were saving towards expenses associated with our son’s (Dylan, age 12) upcoming bone marrow transplant. He’s now almost a year out from transplant at Cincinnati Children’s and doing great! We appreciate all the research that past donors have funded that went into the knowledge and techniques that were used. Donations to FARF help children like Dylan have a better chance at successful outcomes – not only with transplant – other aspects of the disease too.”
