Donate stocks, bonds, or mutual funds and enjoy significant tax benefits. There will be no capital gains tax, and you will receive a receipt for the market value minus transaction fees. Donating publicly traded stocks or securities is a simple and tax-efficient way to support the AHF. For both the donor and the charity, it is more advantageous to transfer securities directly to the Foundation than to sell them and then donate the proceeds. You will be exempt from capital gains tax if the securities are donated directly to the AHF. However, if you sell your securities before making a donation, 50% of the gain will be taxable, which means more taxes for you and less money for the Foundation.
