Donating appreciated stocks (or other securities like mutual fund shares and bonds) is a tax-savvy alternative to giving cash to support Animal Humane New Mexico.
Q: What does “appreciated” mean?
A: Stock owned for more than one year, whether it has increased or decreased in value.
Donating appreciated stock or securities offers a number of benefits:
If your stock has decreased in value, selling it and making a cash gift to Animal Humane New Mexico may be of more benefit to you. You can take a capital loss on federal taxes and still enjoy a charitable deduction up to 50% of your adjusted gross income.
We recommend you consult a tax or financial professional for the various tax benefits and restrictions that may apply for you.
