Donate Appreciated Securities

Donating appreciated securities to DCV is a great way to support us and save you on taxes.  

If you donate the stock directly to DCV, you pay no capital gains tax. This way, the amount that would have gone to the IRS and DC as capital gains taxes stays with DCV

.

You also get a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the transfer. The tax deduction limit for gifting stock to a public charity is up to 30% of your adjusted gross income, though you can carry any excess over for up to five years.
