Give appreciated stock and maximize your impact.
A Powerful Way to Change More Lives and Maximize Your Impact
When you donate appreciated stock, you can make a bigger difference for people experiencing homelessness while also receiving meaningful tax benefits.
It’s one of the simplest and most tax-efficient ways to support East County Transitional Living Center’s work helping men, women, and families rebuild their lives.
Why Donate Stock?
Make Your Impact Go Further
Suppose you purchased stock for $5,000 several years ago, and it’s now worth $20,000.
If you sell it, you’d owe capital gains tax on the $15,000 gain.
But if you donate those shares directly to ECTLC, you avoid that tax entirely, and you may deduct the full $20,000 fair market value on your federal return.
That’s a significantly more powerful gift than writing a $20,000 check, because a cash gift doesn’t eliminate the capital gains you’d otherwise owe.
