Stocks, Bonds, and Securities
Make a donation to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul using appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual fund shares instead of a cash donation. A gift of appreciated securities provides increased tax benefits to you. The benefits of gifting securities that you have owned for more than one year or have inherited are twofold: you are able to take a tax deduction for the current full market value of the securities and you avoid capital gains tax that is incurred when you sell a security.
