How do I give appreciated stock?

Quick Answer

Transfer appreciated stock directly to a 501(c)(3) charity or donor-advised fund using your broker's charitable transfer form. You avoid capital gains tax entirely and deduct the full fair market value (up to 30% of AGI for public stock).

Compare donating cash versus appreciated stock to charity.
