Gifts of Stock
Do you own stock that you'd like to convert, but don't want to pay capital gains tax on the appreciation? Giving non-cash property enables you to help CHEJ while conserving cash for other uses and enjoying what may be greater tax savings than those provided by an equivalent gift of cash.
If you hold stock that you bought more than one year ago that has appreciated in value, it may be the right time to consider transferring the stock as a charitable gift. Not only will you completely avoid paying capital gains tax, but you are also entitled to a charitable deduction based on the property’s current fair market value, including the “paper profits” you have earned since you bought it.
You can transfer stock to CHEJ electronically by providing written instructions to your broker. Click here to contact CHEJ’s Development Office for instructions on the transmittal of a gift of securities and account routing information, or call 703-237-2249 ext. 24.
A gift of stock, bonds or mutual funds to CHEJ is a wonderful way to make a strong commitment to healthier living environments for us all.
