If your financial planning involves a sale of stock, please consider Catholic Social Services.
Giving stock held more than 12 months offers a two-fold tax savings. First, you avoid paying capital-gains tax on the increase in value of your stock. In addition, you receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift. Subtracting the tax savings from what you originally paid for the stock can result in a gift that costs just pennies on the dollar. This is an excellent vehicle for stock that has appreciated substantially in value.
Donating appreciated shares of stock to Catholic Social Services may offer better tax savings than giving a cash gift. Transferring stock is simple. However, you should always consult your financial adviser before making gifts of stock. If the securities are held by a broker or banker, you can have the securities transferred directly to Catholic Social Services, using the information below.
