What is Better to Donate? Cash or Stock?

A cash gift or the same amount in appreciated securities both generate the same charitable deduction.

But if you gift publicly-traded stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares that you have held for a year or longer to make your gift, you will receive an additional tax benefit: the IRS allows you to make your transfer to a charity without recognizing capital gains on the appreciation

Donating a gift of stock to Single Mothers Outreach is easy. If your stock is held in a brokerage account, you simply instruct your broker in writing to transfer the shares to the Single Mothers Outreach account listed below, along with the account number and DTC for the brokerage. Please be sure to note if the gift is unrestricted or should be used for a specific program, and then have a copy of the letter sent to Single Mothers Outreach to ensure that you are credited for the gift and that your generosity is properly acknowledged.

Brokerage Name: Raymond James & Assoc., Inc.   |   DTC Number: 0725   |   Account No. 878LX657
