The deadline to file your 2021 taxes is coming up on April 18, 2022, and Waterkeeper Alliance supporters who chose to make tax-smart gifts last year may be seeing the tangible benefits as they file this spring. So today, I want to highlight a donation option that can set you up for future tax savings. Consider this financially-conscious way to preserve and protect water!
Many of our supporters have been surprised to learn that giving stock to Waterkeeper Alliance can make a huge difference on next year’s tax return. When you transfer your appreciated assets, you can:
Skip paying the capital gains tax
Take a charitable deduction for the entire donation amount, if you also itemize deductions
Make an even more significant impact as we use the full value of the stock to strengthen and grow our global network of grassroots leaders to protect everyone’s right to clean water!
This online tool makes transferring stocks simple by allowing you to print out the necessary forms or by giving you access to our account information so you can make the transfer with your broker.
Your continued support of the Waterkeeper Alliance is making a difference to protect everyone’s right to clean water. Give stock to make a difference in your finances while taking action to further your commitment.
