When you give appreciated stock, your gift can go further for families in rural Ethiopia — supporting schooling for kids and skills for moms, with meaningful tax advantages.
Use The Form Widget To the Right. It's LIVE.
Why donate stock?
- Avoid capital gains tax on appreciated securities
- Claim a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value
- Make a bigger impact at no additional cost
Donating appreciated stock is fast, secure, and free. You can manage capital gains tax while increasing your charitable deduction.
We do not hold or trade stocks. Once your gift is transferred, Donate Stock sells the stock and Roots Ethiopia receives the cash gift. This lets us stay focused on schooling for kids and skills for moms.
