Your gift of appreciated stock or securities will improve the lives of people affected by domestic violence. Donate your appreciated stock or securities directly to DVS and you will receive an income-tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock or securities on the date of transfer (even if you originally paid much less for them).
DVS sells your stocks or securities and uses the proceeds to support services for survivors. By gifting appreciated stocks or securities, you do not pay capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold. Giving appreciated stock may be more beneficial than giving cash. The “cost” of your gift is often less than the deduction you gain by making it. In advance, thank you for making this generous gift.
Please speak to your personal tax advisor and then call DVS at 805-963-4458, ext. 1109 to notify us of your donation or with any questions.
DVS partners with the Santa Barbara Foundation to accept gifts of stock/securities.
