Donate Stock or Cryptocurrency When you contribute an appreciated stock, bond, or mutual fund share, you will receive a charitable income tax deduction for its market value and avoid capital gains tax on the asset’s increase in value. Seek advice from your financial advisor and consider donating a long-held appreciated stock! If you’re part of the crypto community, you can make a tax-deductible donation of cryptocurrency that will not incur capital gains tax. Talk to your financial advisor about all the options available.
