Why give a gift of appreciated securities?
Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can offer several benefits:
-
You may avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value of your securities.
- You may be eligible for a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the gift (consult your tax advisor).
- Your gift allows more of the value of your assets to support pets in need.
Important: Please notify us before transferring your gift.
It is very important that you contact us before initiating a transfer. When securities are transferred electronically, donor names and contact information often do not come through with the transfer. Letting us know in advance helps ensure:
- Your gift is properly credited and acknowledged
- We can issue an accurate tax receipt
- Your gift is applied according to your wishes
