Maximize Your Impact
If you have stock that has appreciated in value and you’ve owned those shares for more than a year, you might consider donating the shares directly to the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties. A gift of appreciated securities may provide significant benefits to you as a contributor, such as:
Eliminating Capital Gains Taxes
Donating stock allows you to eliminate capital gains taxes on any increase in stock value - taxes you would pay if you sold the stock rather than donating it.
Federal Income Tax Charitable Deduction
Donating stocks grants you a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the current fair market value of the securities, regardless of their lower original cost, if you itemize.
