Donating stock is a smart investment, and a wonderful way to support NW Children’s Fund in ending child abuse and neglect.
If you have stock that you have owned for more than one year, and it has appreciated since you purchased it, you can save on the capital gains tax you would owe if you sold it yourself by donating the stock to NW Children’s Fund. Since NW Children’s Fund is a 501(c)3 charitable organization, you will be entitled to an income tax deduction for the full current market value of your gift, to the extent allowed by law. Of course, consult with your financial planner, accountant or estate attorney to discuss your specific situation.
If your broker holds the security for your account, instruct your broker, in writing, to electronically transfer (known as “DTC”) the securities to NW Children’s Fund’s account using the information below.
