Donating Appreciated Securities to Support SKT
While donating cash is the simplest and fastest method for many, the Vedic Spiritual Center (Sri Siva Kameswari Temple – SKT) allows you to make a new Donations with appreciated securities. Gifts of stock can provide you with potential tax advantages while supporting the Activities of SKT. If you have appreciated securities that have been held for at least one year, you can bypass the capital gains tax by donating them to SKT, while still getting the full tax benefit of the value of the stock you transfer.
Example:
Samir wants to donate $50,000 to SKT. After comparing the cash versus stock option, he learns that he will have tax savings of $6,000 with a gift of stock.
Donate Cash
Cost = $50,000
Donate Appreciated Stock
Original cost of stock = $10,000
Current value of stock = $50,000
Capital gains tax saving = 15% capital gains rate * $40,000 gain = $6,000 tax savings
Cost after-tax-savings = $44,000 (Note: For capital gains tax savings, stock must be held by donor for at least year prior to donation)
