Stock giving: A smarter way to make an impact

If you give cash to charity while holding appreciated stocks, you may be missing a real opportunity. Giving stock instead can make your charitable strategy far more tax efficient, so you have more for supporting the causes you care about.

Here’s how it works: You donate appreciated securities to NCF. We sell them, and the proceeds go into your Giving Fund. From there, you recommend grants to the causes you love.

Here is how stock giving multiplies your impact:

• Practice tax-efficient giving, since capital gains tax on donated stock is usually eliminated
• Claim a deduction in the year of the gift
• Use one stock gift to support one or multiple charities
• Consolidate tax receipts, all in one place
• Manage your giving anytime through NCF’s website
