Appreciated Assets
Donate stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and more directly to the Interfaith Family Shelter. For those 70 years and older, consider Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) and IRA Charitable Rollovers as well.
Giving appreciated securities may include tax benefits* such as: claiming market value of these securities as a tax-deductible contribution (instead of the cost basis); avoiding capital gains / state / local taxes on the profit from the sale; and more.
* The Interfaith Family Shelter and its staff do not offer tax or financial advice. We encourage you to consult a financial advisor or tax professional as part of this planning.
