Making a Gift of Stocks & Securities
A donation of publicly traded securities is one of most effective and powerful ways to help Wellspring members while benefiting from significant tax advantages.
With a gift of appreciated stock, you will receive the benefit of a tax receipt for the fair market value of the stock, and not be subject to pay the capital gains tax. The elimination of the capital gains tax on a gift of securities may create a considerable tax advantage for you, which in turn reduces the cost of making such a donation.
To make a gift of stock is easy. Simply download Wellspring London Securities Transfer Form and follow the instructions.
Wellspring London will provide you with a charitable tax receipt for the full market value of the donated stock at the day the stocks are transferred to Wellspring from your broker.
