Donating Equities – Haiti Ap Grandi

What are the advantages of donating equities such as shares of stock and mutual funds?*

The value of the shares you donate may be tax deductible as a charitable donation.
If the shares have increased in value since they were purchased, you may not need to pay capital gains tax on the gain. This can be a good way to deal with highly-appreciated shares.
