Gifts of stock securities can be donated to Atlas and may be deducted as charitable contributions for the average fair market value on the date of transfer. When donating appreciated stock that you’ve held for at least one year, you don’t have to pay capital gains tax on the appreciation, and can also deduct the average fair market value of the stock on the date of transfer. For transfer information, please have your broker contact Erin Grant at 202-449-8444.
Matching Gifts
Employee matching gifts (also known as matching funds) are gifts an employer makes to match its employees’ charitable contributions. Procedures vary with each company; we recommend that you check with your human resources department to see how you can take advantage of this opportunity.
