Stock transfers are usually initiated on the same day. However, it may take up to 14 days to complete depending on your brokerage firm. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process, so you’ll never be left guessing on the status of your donation.
You might be wondering why donating stock is such a great option. Why am I mentioning it specifically today? And the answer is that donating appreciated stock helps rescue even more children from abortion!
In fact, you will make more of a lifesaving impact by donating the stock directly than by selling the stock and then donating the money to Human Coalition. That’s because you could avoid the 20% capital gains tax by donating appreciated stock directly to us.
Here's what this looks like in practical terms… so you can see the difference:
"David” has stock that he purchased for $1,000, and it is now worth $5,000. Great investing there, David!
If he sells the stock first, before making his donation, he could owe long-term capital gains tax of $1,000 on his $5,000 gain, leaving a net of only $4,000 to donate.
But if David donates the appreciated stock directly to Human Coalition instead of selling it, he could avoid the $1,000 tax entirely – AND he’ll be eligible for a $5,000 charitable tax deduction based on the value of the donation.
That’s a win for babies needing to be rescued from abortion – and a win for David, from both an impact AND a tax perspective!
John, children in the womb need pro-life advocates like you to rescue them and write the next chapter for their families. As you saw above, donating stock is a highly effective way to write this next chapter and awaken culture to the truth that preborn lives have value.
If you have any questions about this lifesaving option, please let me know by simply replying to this email. I hope this was helpful to you as you consider end-of-year giving options!
God Bless You,
