Gift of Appreciated Securities
To make a gift of Appreciated Securities please call 781-963-7243 for transfer instructions.
Gifts of appreciated securities can increase your giving power. The IRS allows donors to deduct the full, fair market value of appreciated assets given to the St. Boniface Haiti Foundation, with no recognition of capital gains. That means that donors can leverage a large donation and charitable deduction using an asset with a small cost basis.
How it Works: You hold publicly traded stock with a fair market value of $5,000, which you bought for $2,000. If you contribute the stock to the St. Boniface Haiti Foundation, you will be able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full $5,000. In addition, you will not have to pay capital gains tax on the $3,000 of appreciated value. By using stock instead of cash, you have donated $5,000 to us and received a tax deduction in the same amount, at a cost to you of only $2,000.
Please note that you must donate the stock to avoid the capital gains tax. If you sell the stock first you will be required to pay the capital gains tax. Donors can deduct gifts of appreciated assets up to 30 percent of their adjusted gross income. Donors of cash gifts can deduct them up to 50 percent of their adjusted gross income. The IRS allows donors to carry forward the excess deductions up to five years.
