Gifts of Securities

There are a few key benefits that donors experience when donating stock to a nonprofit.

• First, donating stock allows donors to avoid both capital gains and state income taxes that they would otherwise need to pay if they instead sold the stock to donate cash.
• Additionally, donors can claim a charitable deduction for the current fair market value of their stock at the time of donation. Together, these benefits can represent significant tax savings for donors.
• Donating stock also exempts donors from the wash-sale rule, essentially allowing them to repurchase the stock for its current fair market value, reset their shares at a higher cost-basis, and maintain the composition of their portfolios.

Make a Pledge. Donors making gifts to The Mount Fund have the option of paying their total gift commitment over a multi-year period. When choosing this option, donors are required to sign a written gift commitment agreement and will receive annual pledge reminders for payment.
