Appreciated Securities
A mutually beneficial way to support our special work.
Securities and mutual funds that have increased in value and been held for more than one year are one of the most popular assets to use when making a gift to Board of Child Care. Making a gift of securities or mutual funds to us offers you the chance to support our work while realizing important benefits for yourself.
When you donate appreciated securities or mutual funds you have held for more than one year in support of our mission, you can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. You may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of the transfer.
How it Works
You transfer appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year to Board of Child Care. Board of Child Care sells the securities and uses the proceeds in support of our mission.
Benefits
You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer (even if you originally paid much less for them). You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold. Giving appreciated stock can be more beneficial than giving cash. The “cost” of your gift is often less than the deduction you gain by making it.
