Donate Stock
Thank you for considering a stock donation to The Bowery Mission.
Donating stocks can bring you tax benefits while helping neighbors facing homelessness, hunger and other crises. Gifts of securities which have gone up in value since their purchase can provide additional benefits:
- You receive a charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities if they have been held longer than one year.
- You avoid capital gains tax.
