Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer.
  • You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
  • Giving appreciated stock can be more beneficial than giving cash. The "cost" of your gift is often less than the deduction you gain by making it.

How It Works

  • You transfer appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year to Care Net.
  • Care Net sells your securities and uses the proceeds for our programs.
  • Follow the steps under "Ready to Donate Stock?" above.
