Gifts of Stock

A gift of long-term appreciated stock, bonds or mutual funds can be a tax-efficient way to support the National Strength and Conditioning Association Foundation. When you donate appreciated stock you’ll generally take a tax deduction for the full market value and avoid paying capital gains taxes.

If your securities have depreciated it may be to your advantage to sell them and then give the proceeds to the National Strength and Conditioning Association Foundation. This may allow you to claim the loss when you file your taxes next April and take the charitable deduction for your gift.

Benefits of gifts of stock 

• Avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated stock
• Receive a charitable income tax deduction
• Your gift of stock will help further the work and mission of the National Strength and Conditioning Association Foundation immediately!
