What You Need to Know About Gifts of Appreciated Securities

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds to Save Our Youth is a simple, tax-wise way to have maximum impact on the life of a promising, at-risk youth.

When you transfer appreciated securities that you’ve held for at least one year, there are immediate financial benefits to both you and Save Our Youth. Your gift is greater than if you sold the stock yourself and donated what remained after paying capital gains tax, and you qualify for greater tax savings.

The Basics

Stock Gift Examples

Assumptions: Donor is in 37% income tax bracket and 20% capital gains tax bracket, not including any state tax.

Why Consider a Gift From Your IRA?

A gift through your IRA may be for you if:

Under 70.5 years old?

If you’re under the age of 70½, you can still use your IRA to support the work of Save Our Youth by making a withdrawal and donating the proceeds after taxes OR by designating Save Our Youth as a beneficiary of your retirement plan.
