Thank you for your interest in supporting Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society!
Gift of Stock
Donating securities to the Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society is a terrific way to support our conservation mission. One benefit of donating appreciated securities, like stock, is that the tax savings enable you to make a gift at less cost than if you were to donate the equivalent amount in cash outright.
How it Works
Donating securities is typically done electronically through your broker. Most brokerage firms will require a letter of intent from you to request the transfer. Letting us know of your intent to donate in advance will ensure that our broker is aware of your gift and is actively looking for it.

Benefits of Donating Stock
- You will receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them.
- You pay no capital gains tax on the securities you donate, providing the securities you use to make your gift have been held by you for more than one year.
- This double benefit means that you can leverage a larger donation by using appreciated securities rather than cash to make your gift.
