consider a gift of stock or mutual fund shares to care
Shares of stock or a mutual fund make an excellent charitable gift, especially if the securities you hold are highly appreciated and you have held them for 12 months or more. The sale of an appreciated security results in a capital gains tax liability. By donating the stock to CARE, you avoid this tax and receive a charitable deduction equal to the full fair market value of the security as of the gift date. In addition, securities can be used to fund a CARE Charitable Gift Annuity that provides fixed income to you for life. For further information about gifts of securities, or to obtain transfer instructions, please call CARE at 800-422-7385.
