Stock fundraising is a critical donation revenue driver for nonprofit organizations like Goddard Riverside. Studies show that nonprofits that accept stock assets typically grow 66% faster than those that do not. 

Donating stock is also one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them!

Yes! Stock donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. If you pay taxes in the U.S., your stock donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. By making a charitable gift through stock, you may also be eligible to reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. 

After the donation is processed, we will send you a tax letter for your records. 

As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor.
