A Strategic Way to Give: Donating Securities to Icing Smiles!
We invite you to consider a highly effective method of support: gifting appreciated stock.
This giving strategy is a powerful way to support our work, frequently providing superior tax benefits compared to a cash donation. By transferring appreciated securities directly, you can potentially eliminate capital gains tax liability while qualifying for a charitable deduction based on the full fair market value of the stock.
It is a meaningful, tax-efficient way to maximize your philanthropy.
