Donating long-term appreciated assets such as publicly traded stocks or bonds is a simple and tax-efficient way to support CROSS Services.
When you donate stock directly to CROSS Services, you can generally claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of your gift (up to 30% of your adjusted gross income) and avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation. As with any tax-related decision, we recommend consulting your financial or tax advisor to determine how this type of gift may benefit your individual situation.
