Supporting the Homeless Pets Foundation
Stock Donation
A gift of stock to the Homeless Pets Foundation may allow you to realize significant tax benefits while receiving a charitable contribution deduction. While a gift of stock has many benefits, the most important benefit is knowing your gift will help the Homeless Pets Foundation provide life-saving services to people and animals in need. Contact your financial or legal advisor for more information about the benefits of a stock donation.
Stock gifts have several advantages over a cash donation:
- When you donate stock that has grown in value since you bought it, you pay no capital gains tax.
- You can give more to Homeless Pets at less cost to yourself.
- You can take a tax deduction for the appreciated value of the donated stock.
Please ensure that you have owned the stock for at least 366 days in order to take the full deduction.
