FAQs

  1. What amount can a donor take as a tax deduction?

    The donor receives a total charitable contribution for the average or median value of the HIGH and the LOW of the stock on the day that it was transferred.
    Example: If the average price per share was $10.00, and 100 shares were donated, the total value of the donation would be $1,000.00.

  2. If a stock is donated to us to satisfy an existing pledge, what dollar amount is credited to the pledge?

    The total value of the donation, as seen in the example above, is the amount that would be applied to the pledge.

  3. What if the stock is sold at higher or lower price than the average price that was credited to a pledge? Do we adjust the amount that is credited to a pledge?

    No, the donor is credited for the value of the donation as seen in the above example.
