Donate Stock, Bond, or Mutual Fund Assets
Donation of appreciated assets is a great way to maximize your support of ACTS. If you donate your asset directly to ACTS, you can avoid tax on the gains and because ACTS is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, we do not pay taxes on the gains. This can effectively increase your donation to ACTS up to 20% at no cost to you. When contemplating a donation of securities, it is vital that you inform us of your intention because we are not able to determine the transfer origination due to banking privacy laws. You need to tell us that the asset is being transferred, from where and how much. This will enable us to credit you with the donation. The value is determined by IRS regulations: the closing price of the security on the day it reached our account.
Your transaction can be handled directly by your broker to our brokerage account at Vanguard Brokerage Services.
For more details regarding donation of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, please contact us.
