Gifts of stock:
There can be significant tax advantages for giving appreciated stock as a donation to the Lake County Land Trust, including a contribution of the appreciated value and an avoidance of the gains that would otherwise occur and thus be taxable.
Because LCLT is a 501(c)3 organization, any gain in appreciated value would be avoided through the gift of stock. Further, the full value of the stock on the date of contribution can be used as a charitable deduction on your Federal income tax return. In short, your gain becomes a gain for your favorite non-profit organization, while at the same time, you are released from any financial tax obligations. Please consult a tax professional for advice with your specific situation.
If you would like to make a contribution of stock to the Lake County Land Trust, please call 707.262.0707. Or, to reach directly Executive Director Tom Smythe, or Operations Coordinator Anne Martin directly: email Tom ED@lakecountytlandtrust.org or Anne opcoord@lakecountylandtrust.org. Thank you for this consideration!
