Donating Stock: A Smart Way to Give and Support Local Youth
Donating appreciated stock is a powerful way to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas — and it may also offer tax advantages for you and your family.
If you itemize your deductions and your gift qualifies, you can claim a charitable deduction. But by donating long-term appreciated stock instead of cash, you may unlock even more benefits.
Three Potential Benefits from One Gift:
- Claim a charitable deduction equal to the stock’s fair market value (if you itemize)
- Avoid capital gains tax you’d owe if you sold the stock
- Empower local youth through mentorship that helps them achieve their biggest possible futures
Donating stock is simple.
To get started, contact our Development Team at development@bigmentoring.org or (512) 807-3609.
As always, we recommend consulting your financial or legal advisor to ensure this type of gift aligns with your goals.
