Powering connections. Advancing equity. Supporting students.
If you intend to make a gift to support CISWA’s fight to break down educational barriers, it may be more beneficial for you to use appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual funds rather than cash because of potential tax savings.
The total value of your gift is tax-deductible as long as it has been held for at least one year. There is no obligation to pay any capital gains tax on the appreciated value. And, the gift is fully deductible as of the date it arrives in our account.
Benefits
If you’ve held appreciated securities for more than one year, donating them may be more advantageous than giving cash. Here’s why:
- Maximize your tax deduction: You can receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities on the date of the gift.
- Avoid capital gains tax: By donating appreciated securities directly to CISWA, you won’t pay capital gains tax—and we receive the full value of your gift.
- Make a bigger impact: This method of giving can allow you to make a larger contribution than you might otherwise be able to with cash.
- Satisfy a pledge: Stock gifts can also be used to fulfill a multi-year commitment or pledge.
