Tax-Wise Giving: Donating Appreciated Stock to Jordan River Village
Are you interested in making a charitable gift that may yield double tax benefits and additional savings? If so, a gift of appreciated stock could be the right option for you.
By donating appreciated stock to Jordan River Village, you can eliminate the capital gains tax that would otherwise be due if you sold the stock—providing potential tax savings while supporting transformative camp experiences for children with serious illnesses.
Is a Stock Gift Right for You?
- Highly Appreciated Stock: If your portfolio has grown significantly, donating those shares avoids hefty capital gains taxes.
- Maximize Your Deduction, Keep Your Cash: You receive a charitable tax deduction for the stock’s fair market value (if held more than one year), while preserving your liquidity.
