TAX BENEFITS OF
APPRECIATED ASSETS

When you donate appreciated assets held for more than one year, you receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value – not just what you paid for them. You also avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation.

For example, if you bought stock for $10,000 and it’s now worth $25,000, you can donate it, deduct $25,000, and avoid paying capital gains tax on the $15,000 gain.
