Donate stock and make a lasting difference

increase your impact by donating appreciated securities


Increase your impact by donating appreciated securities — such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds — directly to Children International. Compared with giving cash or selling assets and donating the after-tax proceeds, this approach may allow you to make a larger gift while also increasing your potential tax benefits.

A gift of stock is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support Children International's mission of ending generational poverty. By donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that you have owned for more than one year, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the asset, as allowed by law.

Your gift helps provide children and youth with access to education, health care, life skills, and employment opportunities that create lasting change for generations to come.

Benefits of donating stock

Giving appreciated securities can offer significant advantages:
  • Potentially avoid paying capital gains taxes on appreciated assets
  • Receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of eligible securities
  • Maximize the impact of your charitable giving
  • Support children and families around the world through Children International's life-changing programs

We encourage you to consult your financial advisor or tax professional regarding your specific tax situation.

*Important Note: This page is for informational purposes only. It does not contain financial or investment advice. Please consult a certified tax professional in your locality to determine if your donation is tax deductible. (We believe investing in youth is an investment in the future, but that decision is yours to make.)
