Donating Through Stock

When you transfer securities directly to Family Connections, your tax deduction is the value of the shares the day they are transferred. In other words, you deduct all the appreciation the stock has experienced along with its original cost, even though the deduction is a lot more than you paid for the shares. As a result, the gift's real cost to you may be surprisingly low.

If you have already decided to donate to Family Connections via stock, please let us know by sending us a donated securities form via fax or mail. This allows us to know you will be donating stock and where you would like to direct the donation. To ensure that your donation reaches our organization, please use our legal name, Peninsula Family Connections, in wills, trusts or stock transfers.
