Benefits of Gifting Stock to Northern Public Radio:

• Make a larger impact by gifting stock and donating long-term appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to charity. Compared with donating cash or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may potentially increase your gift and tax donation.
• Eliminate capital gains taxes and the Medicare surtax, which combined could be up to 23.8%
• Take an immediate income tax deduction in the amount of the full fair market value if you itemize your deductions*

* To determine the tax benefits for your situation, please consult with a tax advisor, certified public accountant, or attorney.
