Give Stock - Save Twice

The advantages of contributing appreciated stock are clear…you can save twice when you make a gift of securities.

First, you can save capital gains taxes if you use appreciated securities to make your gift to Covenant House. The full value of your securities will help our kids and the capital gains tax triggered by the sale of the stock is avoided. 

Second, you can deduct the full value of the stock as a charitable contribution. This saves income tax and further lowers the effective cost of your gift.

Imagine how much more confusing it would be to find out at age 17 that the father you’ve never seen was alive and living in another city. Would you want to meet him? What if you were homeless when you found out? That was Jenny’s situation, and she decided to try and find him. What she found shattered her youthful expectations, but Covenant House was there to help her pick up the pieces.
