Gifts of stock
|
Giving a gift of appreciated securities (stock) is a great way to support Suicide Prevention Care Fund. There are two significant benefits to you, the donor, in making these kinds of gifts. 1. In most instances, you are entitled to deduct the full market value of the stock from your taxes. 2. You can avoid paying capital gains taxes on the appreciated securities. How do I make a gift of stock to Suicide Prevention Care Fund? 1. Either you or your broker contact Suicide Prevention Care Fund to inform us of your intention of making a gift to Suicide Prevention Care Fund using stocks. We will ask you to provide the following information: • Your name, address and telephone number • The name(s) of the stock that you are donating • The number of shares being donated 2. The simplest way to give a gift of stock to Suicide Prevention Care Fund is through your broker. Most brokers can transfer the stock directly to Suicide Prevention Care Fund. We will provide your broker with the needed information to make the transfer. 3. If you prefer to send the actual stock certificate, please contact Suicide Prevention Care Fund as well as your broker before sending the certificates since donation of stock certificates requires a special form to ensure that the transfer is accomplished correctly. If you have stock that has gone down in value, you can still support Suicide Prevention Care Fund. To maximize your benefit, sell the stock and contribute the proceeds to Suicide Prevention Care Fund. In most cases, you can then receive a tax deduction AND a capital loss deduction. To ensure that you qualify for this program, please consult your financial advisor on all tax-related matters. |
