What is Stock Gifting?
Stock gifting is a way for someone to donate to Dog Star Rescue by giving us stocks (pieces of a company they own) instead of cash.
Why gift stocks?
- a charitable tax deduction
- eliminating a capital gains tax
- claiming a loss from a stock sale
- helping you reduce your income or estate taxes
Securities are most often used to support Dog Star Rescue with an outright gift or a transfer on death account.
Benefits of Outright Gift: When donating securities, you receive the same income tax savings that you would if you wrote a check, but with the added benefit of eliminating capital gains taxes on the transfer, which can be as high as 20 percent.
If you choose, A “transfer on death account” designation on your brokerage or investment account, that account will be paid over to Dog Star after your lifetime.
