Stock Tip!

What's One of the Most Cost Effective Ways to Make a Gift?

Stock!

Tax law generally allows you to deduct the current market value of long-term assets (held longer than one year) donated to a charity. For example, if you bought stock at $1,000 a few years ago and it has appreciated to a current value of $5,000, you can generally take a deduction of the full $5,000 if you donate that stock to EWP. If on the other hand you sell the stock first and then donate the cash proceeds to EWP, you would incur tax on the realized gain.

Of course, this is not to be construed as legal or tax advice; please consult your tax advisor for details.

For more information, please contact Development Manager Lisa Tang (213) 625-7000 x17 or ltang@eastwestplayers.org.
