Benefits of donating stock, bonds, or mutual funds
Giving a gift of publicly traded stock, bonds, mutual funds, or other assets that have increased in value and that you have owned for more than one year may provide greater tax benefits than making a donation of cash.
For U.S. donors, your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock, and you may avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock.
You may also save by not incurring brokerage fees because you are transferring ownership rather than selling the stock.
