Gifts of Stock

How it works

• You transfer appreciated securities to Volunteers of America of Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho.
• Volunteers of America of Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho sells your securities and uses the proceeds for its programs.

How you benefit

• You receive gift credit and an immediate income-tax deduction for the fair-market value of the securities on the date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them.
• You pay no capital-gains tax on the securities you donate.
• You can direct your gift either where it is needed most or to a specific fund or purpose.
• You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now or funding a life-income gift that benefits Volunteers of America later.
