Give Stocks
Giving appreciated securities is a simple way to support children and youth in foster care, and may offer significant tax advantages.
A Smarter Way to Make a Difference
Donating appreciated stock is one of the most powerful and tax-efficient ways to support our mission. When you give stock directly, you can generally avoid the capital gains tax that would be due if you sold the shares first and donated the proceeds.
This often means you can give more and save more, creating a larger impact for children while maximizing your own financial benefits. The table on the right breaks down exactly how this powerful giving method works.
