Give a gift of long-term appreciated stock to help us confront lung cancer and receive tax savings for yourself. Transferring a gift of stock before December 31 allows you to claim the tax deduction on your tax return.
Why give stock?
Giving a gift of stock allows you to avoid capital gain taxes and receive a charitable gift donation for the full fair market share value of the stock on the date of the gift. Giving a stock gift also allows you to “buy low and give high,” and use your cash to reinvest in the market at a lower tax basis. You can also gift an asset you no longer want or need.
How to give stock
It’s easy to give a gift of stock to GO2 for Lung Cancer:
- Send us an email and let us know the name of the corporation (issue), the number of shares, the expected transfer date and how to contact your broker (name and telephone number).
- Instruct your broker to transfer the securities to GO2 for Lung Cancer.
- We will send you a tax receipt and acknowledgment letter.
We now accept donations of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.
We will sell your securities and apply the proceeds to advance our mission to relentlessly confront lung cancer, on every front, every day, for everyone.
