Gifts of appreciated securities are a smart and simple way to maximize the effectiveness of your charitable giving. If stocks or mutual funds you’ve held for more than a year have increased in value, you may want to consider using these assets rather than cash to fund your giving. By transferring ownership of your long-term stock to IFA, you make a gift to support the ministry, avoid capital gains tax you would pay if the stock were sold, and you my claim a charitable income tox deduction for the current fair market value of the asset.
