Donating stock to the Prospect is easy

The Prospect has just delivered on another promise.

We published Washington’s Secret Policy Engine, which demystifies the economic models that – despite being biased, incomplete and inaccurate – dominate policy and put invisible shackles on the ideas that lawmakers can posit for the legislation that governs our lives.
This special report was made possible with the support of readers like you. We are deeply grateful.

We also just made it through tax season! Thinking forward, I want to highlight a resource that might help you make tax-savvy donations in the future: 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 money you save means 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!
