Stock Gifts
A licensed financial advisor can help you make a gift of stock through a direct transfer to the AKC Canine Health Foundation. Donating publicly traded stock that’s appreciated in value and held for over a year may offer greater tax benefits than giving cash.
About Stock Gifts
Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock and you avoid paying the capital gains tax at transfer. 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 financial advisor and/or accountant.Â
If you would like to support canine health research by donating stock, please note the following:Â

Please contact our Philanthropy or Finance Director to make stock transfers so that we can properly direct your gift. The necessary account numbers will vary depending on your gift. Gifts of stock may be made to the area of greatest need or a specific disease topic. Contacting us directly also helps us acknowledge your gift and forward information regarding your tax deduction in a timely manner.
