Gifts of Securities
Donating appreciate securities, often stock or mutual fund shares, is a great way to help Gifts of Love and potentially reduce your tax bill. GOL benefits by the market value of the appreciated securities. By donating rather than liquidating the securities and providing cash, you avoid paying taxes on their appreciation and receive and income tax deduction for the market value of the securities, and don't pay capital gains taxes on the appreciation of the securities. Please consult your tax advisor for further details. We're happy to provide the information necessary to transfer appreciated securities to Gifts of Love
