Appreciated Securities Make a bigger impact by donating stocks, bonds, and mutual funds directly to VOAWW. Donating appreciated securities is easy and convenient, and you may enjoy numerous tax benefits*, including: Claiming the market value of the securities as a tax-deductible contribution (as opposed to the cost basis). Avoiding capital gains tax, local and state taxes on the profit from the sale of securities. Lowering the cost basis of the gift. Compared with donating cash or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may be able to automatically increase your gift and your tax deduction. * VOAWW does not offer tax advice.
