Give a Gift of Stock
Donating appreciated stock is one of the most powerful—and tax-smart—ways to support Peaceful Family Oklahoma’s mission of bringing help, hope, and healing to children impacted by addiction in their families.
Why donate stock?
If you’ve held a stock, mutual fund, or other publicly traded security for more than one year, donating it directly to a nonprofit like Peaceful Family Oklahoma can offer major advantages:
- Avoid capital gains tax (up to 23.8% federally + 4.75% in Oklahoma)
- Receive a full fair market value charitable deduction
- Make a larger impact with the same asset value
- Reduce your taxable income while maximizing your giving power
This means more of your gift goes directly to supporting children and families—and less to taxes.
Helpful Notes
- To claim a fair market value deduction, the stock must have been held more than one year.
- Donations of stock are generally limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), with any excess carried forward for up to five years.
- For donors aged 70½ or older, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs are another tax-savvy option.
- If you hold restricted stock, please consult your company’s legal counsel and a tax advisor first.
