HOW TO HELP

Appreciated Stock Donations

Appreciated stock is an excellent choice for funding charitable gifts because it can offer important tax benefits for the donor without impacting cash flow. In fact, to neutralize a capital gain event during the tax year, donors often gift their stock or mutual funds to counter an expected capital gain tax.

It works as follows:
  • You will transfer stocks to Gene Therapy Institute.
  • The Institute sells your stocks and utilizes the profits for its medical research programs.
The benefits of using appreciated stock donations:
  1. You will be given a donation credit and a direct income tax deduction for the actual market value of the stocks when transferred, regardless of the stocks original price.
  2. You will be exempt of capital gains tax on the donated stocks.
  3. You will be able to direct your donations to a particular fund or program.
  4. You can enjoy the satisfaction of making a noteworthy donation to the Gene Therapy Institute
