Gifts of Stock
Gifts of stock are a wonderful way to give to the pets in need at the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County.
If you have stock that has appreciated in value and you’ve owned those shares for more than a year, you might consider donating the shares directly to the Humane Society. A gift of appreciated securities may provide significant benefits to you as a contributor, such as:
- Eliminating capital gains taxes on any increase in value—taxes you would pay if you sold the stock.
- Entitling you to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the current fair market value of the securities, regardless of their lower original cost, if you itemize.
All you have to do is provide your financial advisor or stockbroker with the following information:
- The Bank of New York Mellon
