Often a stock donation can count for more, enabling you to make a larger gift at a lower cost. Benefits you enjoy when making your stock or securities contribution include:

  • Avoiding the tax on the stock's capital gain
  • Receiving an income tax deduction (federal and most states) for the full market value of your gift if you itemize deductions on your tax return, and have held the assets for one year or longer
