Why donate stock?
Global Exchange accepts gifts of appreciated stock, which we sell immediately in order to support our work.
Stock donations may offer significant tax benefits to the donor. You can avoid capital gains tax, and capture the full market value of your stock as a charitable tax deduction. We recommend that you consult a tax professional for specific advice about your situation.
In accordance with IRS regulations, you will receive an acknowledgement for tax purposes listing the number of shares donated and the value of the stock as of the date the shares are received in our account.
