Donate Stocks

There are tax advantages when donating appreciated stocks:

• You can deduct the fair market value of the stock at time of donation when you file your tax return.
• By donating stocks that have appreciated, you are actually giving 20% or more than if you sold them and then made a cash donation, due to avoiding capital gains taxes.
• Hidaya Foundation does not pay any tax when it sells the donated stocks, which makes your donation more impactful.

Please consult with your CPA or tax accountant to see how you can take advantage in your situation.
