Stock gifts
Multiply your impact by donating appreciated stock.
Donating long-term appreciated stock can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to support Kind to Kids Foundation. You may be able to avoid capital gains tax and deduct the fair market value of your gift, while helping children and youth in foster care succeed.
A smart way to support children in foster care.
When you donate appreciated stock that you have held for more than one year, you may be able to avoid capital gains tax and still deduct the fair market value of your gift, subject to IRS rules.
This can increase the impact of your giving — allowing you to support UGrad Academy, My Blue Duffel, and our support services with resources that go further for children and youth in foster care.
