Benefits of giving stock
Because WPR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, when you donate stock/mutual funds to WPR, you receive a two-fold tax savings if your stock was held for more than one year:
- Your tax deduction will be based on the full fair market value of the stock.
- You won’t pay capital gains tax on the increase in the stock’s value.
If you have questions, and to let us know your gift is coming, contact WPR at 800-383- 9772 or membership@wpr.org. Thank you!
