Your donors can donate stock in publicly traded companies to any of our international partners. By donating stock, they can increase the value of their donation by 25%. Here's how:
If your donor owns 10 shares of Amazon (let's say, valued at $1,000), they have two ways of donating you the value:
If the donor sells the stocks, they have $10,000 in cash, but must pay a 20% capital gains tax, leaving them $8,000. The donor donates $8,000 to you, and they receive a tax-receipt for $8,000 (so, in total, $16,000 in value).
If the donor donates you the stock (through our international partner), there is no capital gains tax, as charities are exempt. Meaning that the donor receives a tax-receipt for $10,000 (the fair market value of the stock), and after we sell the stock, you receive a $10,000 donation (so, in total, $20,000 in value).
