Stock Donation
Donating stock is a great way to give to the work of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, while gaining great tax benefits for you. Any of our many programs and ministries can be supported by a stock donation, with very little work on the part of the donor. A donation of stock often provides both of the following tax benefits for the donor:
- A Charitable Income Tax Deduction for the full value of the stock
- Avoidance of Capital Gains Tax on the appreciated value of the stock.
|
With the combined tax benefits above, it is often a great financial decision to donate stock to the Archdiocese while also supporting the work of you parish or the ministries of the Church. However, in order to receive both of these benefits, you must transfer the stock DIRECTLY to the Archdiocese. Selling the stock and then donating the proceeds will leave you responsible for any capital gains taxes due (although you would still be eligible for a charitable income tax deduction).
Donating stock can be a great way to be a good steward of the assets with which God has blessed you. If you would like to make a stock donation to the Archdiocese, please contact the Office of Development and we will be glad to give you more information on how to quickly and efficiently donate by giving stock.
