Gift of Stock

Supporting hardworking families is simple.

 

Gifts of stock can be a very powerful tool to manage your personal taxes and meet your philanthropic goals at the SAME time. Donating stock instead of cash can have many benefits for you and be an effective method of supporting United Way of Coastal and Western Connecticut. 

  • Increase your gift to United Way while realizing additional tax benefits.
  • Avoid capital gains tax.
  • Earn a standard tax deduction on both federal and state taxes.

For most taxpayers any gift of stock that has been held for at least one year - defined as a 'long term' holding - can be written off at fair market value against income if donated to a qualified charity such as United Way of Coastal and Western Connecticut.
