Dog lovers and breeders are also thinking about the future of canine health. Several leading gifts were made to the Foundation for November. We thank all our donors for their generosity. Together we can make a difference in the health of our dogs. If your stock portfolio needs attention and taxes are a consideration for your year-end planning, consider a charitable gift of stock.
Appreciated stock is valued on the day it is transferred to the charity for tax purposes.
Taking an average of the high and low price on the day of transfer makes the computation. The donor does not have to pay capital gains on the stock and the charity receives the full benefit of the sale amount. Lisa Farmer will host a party in New York City for the benefit of the AKC Canine Health Foundation. Authors, artists, scientists and other canine enthusiasts will meet for a special evening to raise money for canine health research. The evening is expected to feature remarks by guests on the ways dogs inspire them in their lives and often in their work.
