STOCK DONATION
Today many families invest their savings in stocks, mutual funds and ETFs. Donation of these securities to BTF decreases the “Effective cost of the gift” to the donor, while increasing the overall tax savings to the individual (by avoiding capital gains taxes in addition to receiving tax credits). Thus, donors can maximize their tax savings by donating appreciated stock rather than cash to BTF.
The federal and state income tax codes incentivize donors to make charitable gifts by providing tax credits. This benefit is further compounded by donation of appreciate stocks and employee match programs. Direct transfer of these assets to BTF can be accomplished without having to pay capital gains taxes.
