Give More to Kids, Your Gift Goes Farther

Donating appreciated stock is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support Shriners Children’s. When you give stock, you avoid paying capital gains taxes and can deduct the full market value of the asset on your tax return. It’s a win-win for you and us. And now it’s fast, safe and easy to do.

Not ready for stock gifting? No problem! You can still give through a traditional channel to help kids in need.

If you prefer to give directly through your brokerage account, call the number above or email us at plannedgiving@shrinenet.org.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the tax advantages of stock donations?
While we are not financial advisors, your stock donation is tax-smart because you can avoid capital gains tax (between 18% – 40%) and, Shriners Children’s will receive the full value of your contribution. You may also deduct the fair market value of the stock. Please consult with a tax professional.

Who is DonateStock?
DonateStock is transforming charitable giving by making stock gifting easy and accessible to millions of nonprofits and donors. DonateStock streamlines the stock gifting process to help donors save on taxes while helping nonprofits tap into new sources of funding.

What's the catch?
There is no catch. For decades the IRS has allowed individuals to deduct the full value of their donation (whether it’s cash or stock). But if you donate appreciated stock, you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the gifted securities. Furthermore, you can deduct the entire value of the donated stock for tax purposes. While the process used to be painstaking for the donor, DonateStock makes it fast, safe and free to donate stock in minutes.

How long does the transaction process take place?
While it only takes minutes to initiate a stock gift, it generally takes five to seven business days for the stock to be transferred, sold and distributed to Shriners Children’s. You may track your stock donation status in the dashboard of your donor portal. Shriners Children’s receives U.S. dollar disbursements the week after the shares are received.

Will I get a receipt for tax purposes?
YES. A receipt from DonateStock Charitable for the U.S. Dollar value of your stock gift may be downloaded from your donor dashboard after the transaction is completed and the proceeds are distributed to Shriners Children’s.

How will I know if/when my donation was received?
You will be notified by email when the donation has been submitted and received. You can also view the status of your stock donations in your Donor dashboard. Simply log in to view it.

Is there a limit to how much stock I can donate?
There is no limit on charitable stock gifts, but the IRS limits the amount you may deduct for non-cash gifts at 30% of your Adjusted Gross Income. Again, please speak with a financial advisor for details.
