Mustard Seed Communities accepts gifts of securities such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds. You will not have to sell your stock or incur any capital gains liabilities. We can accept the appreciated value, providing you the maximum tax benefit. No matter what form your generosity takes – it makes an incredible difference in the lives of the children who we serve.
In most cases, an outright gift of appreciated securities entitles the donor to an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities. In the case of securities, which have been held for more than one year, the capital gains tax is waived.
