STOCK GIFTS
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the button below to notify us of your gift.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Select which securities to donate
You’ll need your brokerage name, account number, stock name, and number of shares you want to donate. Donors generally incur the greatest tax benefit when donating appreciated stock that has been held for more than a year. Please contact your brokerage if you have any questions.
2. Submit a request to transfer the securities
Use our free online tool to complete the necessary forms in as little as ten minutes. Submit them securely online through DocuSign or choose to print and mail the completed forms yourself.
3. Save The Music receives your gift
Your stock is transferred to Save The Music. Once complete, you’ll receive a tax acknowledgment for the market value of your gift.
