The IRS provides one of its most significant tax breaks for donations of appreciated securities to non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. If you have appreciated securities that you have owned for more than one year, including stocks, bonds or mutual funds, donating these securities may be a better choice than donating cash. When donating appreciated securities, you generally receive a tax deduction for their full market value while avoiding the capital gains tax. It is simple to transfer gifts of appreciated securities to the Eduarte Courtot Foundation. Email us at [email protected] for more information.
