Stock Giving
VOX is now able to receive gifts of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. This is a great way to have your cake and eat it, too, as you can usually deduct the full fair market value of these long-term assets you've held for more than one year. In addition, if you donate stocks or other investments, you pay no capital gains tax. Donating investments – especially highly appreciated securities – instead of cash can be a very effective and tax-efficient way to support VOX. Generally, if your assets have appreciated in value, it’s best not to sell securities to generate the cash you need for a donation. Contributing the securities directly to the charity increases the amount of your gift as well as your deduction.
One rule to remember here is that the deduction is limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). This differs from a 60% limit for donations of cash, but you can still carry forward unused deductions for five years. If you’re planning a large contribution that’s close to or exceeds these AGI limits, first talk with a tax professional. If you’re holding securities with a loss, it’s usually better to sell first. By doing so, you can take the capital loss for tax purposes and then donate the cash. In most cases, though, donating appreciated securities can be a cost-effective way to benefit the charities of your choice.
