Gifts of Stock
Give Smart. Make a Greater Impact.
Donating appreciated securities—such as stocks or mutual funds—is a tax-savvy way to support GECAC and help families in need. Many donors choose this method of giving because it offers valuable tax benefits while making a lasting difference in our community.
Why Donate Securities?
Gifts of long-term appreciated stock or mutual funds can allow you to avoid capital gains tax while also receiving a charitable deduction for the full market value of the asset. It's a powerful way to maximize your giving.
How to Donate Stock to GECAC
Making a gift of stock is simple and straightforward:
-
Contact your broker and request a "broker-to-broker" transfer.
-
Instruct your broker to transfer the securities directly to GECAC's account—not to sell them first. This ensures you receive the full tax benefit.
-
Use the stock transfer instructions we've provided, which include our brokerage firm's name, DTC number, account name, and account number.
By donating appreciated assets, you're not only supporting our mission—you're also making the most of your charitable contribution.
