Stock fundraising is a critical donation revenue driver for nonprofit organizations like ours. With over 60% of Americans owning stock and billions in stock donated to US charities every year, stock donations can make a wide-reaching impact through philanthropy. Studies show that nonprofits that accept noncash assets typically grow 50% faster than those that do not and they grow 66% faster when they accept non cash securities such as stock. Donating stock is also one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them.
Why does the LSF accept stock?
We currently accept publicly traded, domestic common stock. We are continually in the process of adding support for new assets to donate, so please check back soon for more giving options. If you do not want to utilize the online form to donate, please connect with our
Private Donor Services team at The Giving Block.
Which stocks do you accept?
Yes! Stock donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your stock donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law; if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor.
