Giving gifts of stock to ACCW

Giving a gift of appreciated securities (stock) is a great way to support Americans Caring for Children Worldwide in our goal of bringing hope and love to needy children. There are two significant benefits to you, the donor, in making these kinds of gifts.

1. In most instances, you are entitled to deduct the full market value of the stock from your taxes.
2. You can avoid paying capital gains taxes on the appreciated securities.

How do I make a gift of stock to Americans Caring for Children Worldwide?

1. Either you or your broker contact Americans Caring for Children Worldwide to inform us of your intention of making a gift to Americans Caring for Children Worldwide using stocks. We will ask you to provide the following information:

Your name, address and telephone number
The name(s) of the stock that you are donating
The number of shares being donated

2. The simplest way to give a gift of stock to Americans Caring for Children Worldwide is through your broker. Most brokers can transfer the stock directly to Americans Caring for Children Worldwide. We will provide your broker with the needed information to make the transfer.
