Asset Giving
Why give appreciated assets?
Donating appreciated assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds or real estate can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. Not only do you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increased value of the asset, but you may also receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value, providing a greater impact than a cash gift alone.
Ways to give appreciated assets
Beyond cash gifts, there are many creative ways to support the rescue and freedom of children. Donors often choose to give from the assets they already have, such as:
- Stocks and mutual funds
- Bonds
- Real estate
- Cryptocurrency
- Business ownership shares
- Precious metals (gold or silver)
- Interests in an LLC, FLP or privately held company
These types of gifts not only help bring freedom to children but can also offer significant tax advantages to you.
