Giving gifts of stock to Washington’s National Park Fund is a great way to support critical park projects. You receive an immediate income-tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer, regardless of what you originally paid for them. Plus, you pay no capital gains tax on the securities you donate.
Besides the tax benefit, other reasons to give stock include reducing a concentrated equity position in a particular stock, “locking in” the benefit of past appreciation (for Washington’s National Park Fund), and preserving available cash for other needs.
