One of the reasons we have made this option available for Revival Valley is because we recognize that much of America’s wealth is tied up in stocks. For some, this might be the best/only way to give!

Additionally, giving stocks is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. In the event your stock appreciates and you decide to sell it to liquidate it into cash and then give from that, you are required to pay capital gains tax. However, when you donate a stock to a non-profit, you avoid that capital gains tax. This means you can save up to 25% of tax by donating stock rather than cash made from selling the stock.

*Importantly, the organization we have partnered with, Overflow, liquidates the stock that you sell and deposits cash into Revival Valley’s account. We aren’t becoming day traders or saving stocks for a rainy day!
