Go Farther by Donating Appreciated Securities
Don’t sell your stock and donate the proceeds! Make a bigger impact by donating long-term (held more than one year) appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound. In doing so, you may be able to automatically increase your gift and your tax deduction.*
Here’s how it works: You transfer securities to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound; then, Big Brothers Big Sisters sells them and uses the proceeds to help connect kids facing adversity with caring adult mentors. It’s that simple.
