Gifts of Stock & Mutual Funds

Support Northwest Public Broadcasting by donating appreciated securities — a smart, tax-friendly alternative to writing a check.

Why Donate Stock and Mutual Funds?

When you donate appreciated stock or other securities, you can:

• Avoid paying capital gains tax on the increased value of your investment.
• Claim a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock.

Example:
If you donate stock worth $1,000 that you originally purchased for $100, your out-of-pocket cost is only $100. Plus, you may be able to deduct the entire $1,000 from your taxable income, reducing your overall cost even more.
