Planned Giving: Stocks and Mutual Funds

Stocks

By donating stocks, that have been held for at least one year plus one day, directly to Horizon, not only can you take an itemized tax deduction for the full present value, but you also avoid having to pay capital gains tax on the increased value.

Mutual Funds

Like stocks, mutual funds can be donated directly to avoid capital gains tax, while taking an itemized charitable deduction on their full market value.

How to Transfer Securities to Horizon 

To donate securities held by a brokerage firm:
Tell your broker that you wish to donate stock to Horizon International.
