Receive a tax deduction for using stocks, bonds and mutual funds as donations

When you choose to donate appreciated securities or mutual funds you have held more than one year, you have the opportunity to reduce or eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. Making this type of donation also entitles you to a federal income tax charitable deduction; the deduction is based on the fair market value of the securities at the time the transfer takes place.
