The benefits of donating stock
Donating appreciated stock directly to Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation can be a smart, tax-efficient way to give. When you transfer shares instead of selling them first, you typically avoid paying capital gains taxes on the appreciation—meaning more of your gift goes straight to supporting children and families. At the same time, you may still be eligible to claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock (if you’ve held it long-term). It’s a simple shift that can maximize both your impact and your potential tax benefits, making your generosity go even further.
