Support Your Way!

Ready to take the Next Step in supporting your community? Every action, from volunteering your time to utilizing tax-advantaged giving strategies like donating appreciated stock, helps us build a stronger Kansas City. Explore the options below to find the best way for you or your company to invest in our future and create real change.

Why Donate appreciated stock?

1. Avoid long-term capital gains tax.
When you donate appreciated stock that you’ve held for more than a year, you avoid paying long-term capital gains tax on the stock’s increased value. Depending on your income, the capital gains tax rate can be as high as 20%. This tax savings allows your donation to go further.

2. Receive a tax deduction.
When you donate stock directly to a charity, you are eligible for a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the donated stock (up to 30% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for the tax year). This allows you to reduce your taxable income and save on taxes.

3. Make a bigger impact.
If you decide to donate stock instead of cash, the tax savings gives your donation an extra boost that furthers the mission and programs of the charities you care most about.
