When most think about donating, they think about making a cash gift; however, there are other options. Donating appreciated stocks is simple and provides you with immediate tax benefits. Chief among these benefits is the ability to make a larger value donation than by giving cash after liquidating. You can avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated amount that you would have incurred had you sold the stock, and you get a tax deduction for the full fair market value of your long-term capital gain asset – up to 30% of your adjusted gross income.
