STOCKS

Maximize your impact

When you gift stocks and other securities directly to a charity, you make an outsized impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor the charity will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate.

Meet your giving goals, enjoy potential tax benefits, and contribute to the change you want to see. That’s a triple-win.

Donors like you often find they can make a larger impact at less cost through donations of stock instead of cash. Giving stock allows you to avoid paying capital gains taxes and potentially to receive a tax deduction for the full value of the gift. In addition, The Shelter is able to use the full value of the stock to fund lifesaving and transformational services for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking.

Contact your financial, legal or tax adviser about the specifics of your donation.
