Give smart, save more
Keep more money in your pocket with every donation. When you donate stock, you avoid capital gain tax while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution.
How It Works
If you have appreciated stock, we’ve made it easy to donate it.
Donor selects Nonprofit and submits online donation form
DonateStock sends form to Donor’s broker and notifies Donor and Nonprofit
Donor’s broker transfers stock to the account belonging to Nonprofit or Donatestock Charitable*
Stock is received, reconciled, converted to cash and distributed to Nonprofit
Donor is notified the stock was received and is sent a receipt for the gift
*Nonprofit may choose to receive the stock or the proceeds from the sale of the stock by Donatestock Charitable, Inc.
Donate stock to maximize tax savings!*
Say you bought $500 worth of stock several years ago and now it’s worth $2,500. Instead of selling it, you can donate the stock to charity and save a bundle on taxes:
Avoid $500 in capital gains tax on the $2,000 appreciation in value. Save another $750 by deducting the $2,500 charitable gift. Your total tax savings are $1,250 - more than 2x your original investment!
*Actual Capital Gains Tax ranges from 18.8% to 37.1%, comprising Federal tax (15% or 20% + 3.8% NII tax) and State tax (41 states tax gains at 0% to 13.3%).
