Donating appreciated stocks, securities or mutual funds directly to The Speech and Institute is more cost effective than selling the stock and making a cash gift. There are many attractive tax incentives available to you with this program.
Thanks to changes in the Federal budget of May 2006, you no longer have to pay capital gains tax when you donate a gift of appreciated securities. If you donate stock to charity, you pay no capital gains and receive a tax receipt for the full value of the stock. This makes donating appreciated stock one of the most effective ways to donate.
