Many donors prefer to make gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange traded funds to support SELT’s work.
Why Donate Appreciated Assets?
There are two key factors that many donors consider when making a gift of appreciated assets: impact on our mission and potential tax benefits.
Impact on our Mission
Many of our most committed donors find they’re able to give more generously when they donate appreciated assets than if they’d simply given cash. That generosity means we’re able to conserve more land and advance our mission faster.
Potential Tax Benefits
If you’re itemizing deductions on your tax return, you may be eligible for a charitable deduction of the full value of your gift. Whether or not you’re itemizing deductions, though, donating an appreciated asset can help you avoid paying taxes on capital gains. Always discuss donations with a tax consultant to maximize your benefits.
For more information please reach out to Beverly Shadley, Deputy Director, at 603-658-9752 or send an email. In addition, you can talk directly with your broker or financial advisor who can facilitate a gift of securities.
