Donating publicly-traded stock may provide better tax benefits than a traditional donation. Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock and you avoid paying capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock. You may also save on brokerage fees because you are transferring ownership rather than selling the stock.
Please download the Stock Transfer Form, follow instructions to formalize and execute your charitable gift, and be sure to fax or email the completed information to the contact provided. These steps will inform Peninsula Family Service of the donation, provide our broker the information needed to make the transfer and ensure you receive a prompt receipt of your gift for your tax records.
For more information or to submit your completed form, please contact Deborah Miller, Chief Advancement Officer, at 650-403-4300 ext. 4412 or [email protected].
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating a legally valid will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
If you have any questions, please contact Deborah Miller, Chief Advancement Officer at 650-403-4300 ext. 4412 or via email at [email protected].
