Donating publicly traded stock or mutual fund shares is a wonderful way to support CB girls, and this type of charitable gift may also provide tax benefits.
For instance, if you transfer appreciated, long-term, capital-gain securities, in addition to receiving a charitable deduction for the full, fair-market value of such a gift, you may also avoid any potential tax on the capital gains of the gift, as well as any sales commission that would be payable if you were to sell the assets.
If you wish to make a gift of securities to Community Bridges, please contact Executive Director Shannon Babe-Thomas at sbabethomas@communitybridges-md.org or 301-585-7155, ext. 108.
