Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
Appreciated Assets including Stocks
Have you considered giving appreciated assets (stocks,
mutual funds) to charity? The tax benefits of such a
transfer can be extremely attractive. If you have held the
appreciated assets for more than one year, you can give
them to a qualified charity without having to pay a tax on
any capital gains. You will still get a charitable deduction
for the stock’s fair market value on the day you give it
away. You should consult with your tax/financial advisor
to learn more about the benefits of donating appreciated
assets. Contact our Foundation Treasurer Deborah Capuano for
instructions on making stock/security transfers to the
Foundation.
