When you donate securities, like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, that you have held for more than a year, you not only avoid paying capital gains taxes but you unlock the ability to give more than you might through a cash gift. On top of that, you may be eligible for a charitable deduction for the full fair market value, creating meaningful tax advantages. This allows you to support the charities you care about while maximizing the impact of your philanthropy. For questions about donating securities, please contact Tracy Timmons at tracy@rlacf.org.
