Stock
A direct gift of stock or securities allows Onward House to receive the full sale proceeds, and you may be able to bypass capital gains tax. This approach often results in more resources going to the causes you care about. You can donate long-term appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to Onward House. Take an immediate income tax deduction in the amount of the full fair market value if you itemize your deductions.
Please consult your tax advisor who can help you determine if this is the right strategy for you.
