Gifts of Stock
Your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via a direct
transfer to the AKC Canine Health Foundation. Giving a gift of publicly
traded stock that has increased in value and that you have owned for
more than one year may provide greater tax benefits than giving cash.
Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value
of the stock and you avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase
in the current value over the original cost of the stock. You may also
save by not incurring brokerage fees because you are transferring
ownership rather than selling the stock. Please discuss the benefits and
tax-implications of donating stock with your broker and/or accountant.
If you would like to support canine health research by donating stock, please note the following:
