GIFTS OF STOCK
A gift of stock can be one of the best ways to give to Crown. Gifts of appreciated stock are particularly wise from a tax perspective, since there are no capital gains paid, and the giver receives a tax deduction of the full face amount.
For example, if you bought stock for $1,000 and now it is worth $5,000, you receive a tax deduction for the entire $5,000 without having a $4,000 capital gain. You would benefit in 2 ways, and Crown would benefit from the $5,000 contribution. Gifts of stock can also be one of the easiest ways to give.
With your permission, Crown can work directly with your broker or financial planner, and the process is very simple. If you are interested in donating stock or mutual funds and would like more information, please contact us at 800.722.1976 or email customercare@crown.org.
NOTE: Please let us know the type of stock and amount of shares you are donating to enable us to track the donation and receipt you appropriately.
GIFTS IN KIND
Crown has received numerous creative gifts such as surplus items, retirement assets, real estate, vacation property, land, life insurance, automobiles, sale of grains, precious metals, jewelry, etc. When you give appreciated property, you are entitled to an income tax deduction for the full value of the asset, not just the amount you paid for it, and often you can deduct the market value of your item. If you are interested in donating a gift in kind, please contact us at 800.722.1976 or email us at customercare@crown.org.
