Gifts of stocks and bonds provide donors with an opportunity to receive a tax deduction for the market value of the securities, computed on the day of transfer, while avoiding payment of capital gains on a stock’s appreciated value.  The IRS provides one of its most significant tax breaks for donations of appreciated securities.  Donors are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors.

How it works:

• You make a gift of appreciated stock to America SCORES.
• That donation can be applied to National or any of the America SCORES’ 13 affiliates.
• Your gift qualifies for a tax deduction based on the full market value of your stock; you avoid the capital gains tax that would otherwise arise from the sale of this stock.
• America SCORES staff will handle all administrative details.
• America SCORES staff will send you a receipt that can be used for tax purposes.

If you would like to make an appreciated stock donation, please contact America SCORES National Chief Development Officer, Caroline T. Turner, at 212-868-9510 x307.
