Gifts of Shares, ETFs & Mutual Funds

CCF is able to accept donations of shares, ETFs and mutual funds. This is a tax-advantaged way to donate. To summarize:

If shares, ETFs or mutual funds are transferred to us, the donor does not incur a capital gain on the appreciated value of the asset.
It is important that the asset is transferred to us rather than sold by the donor as the latter is a taxable event.
If the asset has been held by the donor for more than one year, the full market value of the gift can be used as a tax deduction. If less than one year, only the cost basis can be deducted.
Donations of this type of asset are capped at 30% of adjusted gross income.
Do not donate a losing asset as you will lose the ability to claim a capital loss
