Donating stock to the Prospect is easy

This spring, TAP is reflecting on our recent milestones. On the business side, our online community surpassed 4,000 paying members. While in editorial, our most popular story, which recounts Ticketmaster’s decades of antitrust villainy, helped inform congressional inquiries on the entertainment giant.

Now, we’re working toward another milestone: making it through tax season, which ends on April 18!

It’s surely the season when saving is on all of our minds, so here’s a resource highlighting a tax-savvy way to give: FreeWill’s secure stock donation platform.

Our partnership with FreeWill makes it easy to give your appreciated stock. It only takes about 10 minutes. We then put it to work reporting on the ideas, politics and power that dominate the nation.

Donating your appreciated stock can be a smart financial decision. If you donate it to the Prospect, there’s no capital gains tax to pay. Plus, if you’ve owned the appreciated stock for more than one year and itemize deductions on your tax return, you might be able to take a charitable deduction for its full fair market value.

The savings mean your contribution to our work might be larger, so I truly hope you consider this powerful way to make a difference!

As always, thank you for your dedication to the Prospect!
