Gifts of Securities
Donating appreciated securities allows you to support Swords to Plowshares while minimizing your out of pocket costs through tax savings the donation generates. Because the value of many investments has increased significantly, you may hold assets that, when sold, will generate large capital gains taxes.
You may transfer gifts of stock to Swords without paying capital gains tax. You may also receive a charitable deduction for the value of the stock donated. Please consult with your tax advisor for details.
To donate stock please contact Swords to Plowshares’ broker, Wells Fargo, at (800) 935-5747 and refer to account number 1341-2845.

To ensure proper acknowledgement of your stock donation, including the issuing of a receipt for tax purposes, please complete and submit the Donate Stock Form, which will be used for recognition purposes only. Due to the nature of electronic stock transactions, donations may not be recognized without using this form. You may fax, email or mail the form to Swords to Plowshares. (form coming soon)
