Donating stock that has increased in value can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to the WHAS Crusade for Children. When you donate with stock, you may receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value and avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation. That means your gift may go further for the causes you care about.

- Simple to arrange: A quick electronic transfer moves shares directly from your brokerage account to ours.
