Gifts of stock
|
|
Giving a gift of appreciated securities (stock) is a great way to support AIDS Care Fund in our goal of helping adults and children living with AIDS. There are two significant benefits to you, the donor, in making these kinds of gifts.
1. In most instances, you are entitled to deduct the full market value of the stock from your taxes.
2. You can avoid paying capital gains taxes on the appreciated securities.

How do I make a gift of stock to AIDS Care Fund?
|
|
1. Either you or your broker contact AIDS Care Fund to inform us of your intention of making a gift to AIDS Care Fund using stocks. We will ask you to provide the following information:
Your name, address and telephone number
The name(s) of the stock that you are donating
The number of shares being donated
2. The simplest way to give a gift of stock to AIDS Care Fund is through your broker. Most brokers can transfer the stock directly to AIDS Care Fund. We will provide your broker with the needed information to make the transfer.
3. If you prefer to send the actual stock certificate, please contact AIDS Care Fund as well as your broker before sending the certificates since donation of stock certificates requires a special form to ensure that the transfer is accomplished correctly. Our telephone number is 909.793.2009.

If you have stock that has gone down in value, you can still support AIDS Care Fund.
|
|
To maximize your benefit, sell the stock and contribute the proceeds to AIDS Care Fund. In most cases, you can then receive a tax deduction AND a capital loss deduction. To ensure that you qualify for this program, please consult your financial advisor on all tax-related matters.
