Gifts of Stock and Securities

Donating stock or securities that have been held more than 12 months offers a number of benefits:

• A federal income charitable contribution tax deduction based on the stock’s fair market value on the date of the gift (up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income) if the stock was owned for more than one year,
• Carry over of the deduction for up to five additional years if the fair market value of the gift is more than 30 percent of your adjusted gross income,
• Avoidance of capital gains tax that is due when you sell appreciated stock, and
• The satisfaction that you are making a long-term gift to the American Pain Foundation to eliminate the undertreatment of pain and pain related suffering in America.
