Donors can make a one time or a recurring donation. Recurring installments will be debited automatically monthly or annually.
4. Securities
Donors can give by donating their appreciated securities through PILAS’s Brokerage Account with J.P. Morgan. Donors can enjoy significant tax advantages when they transfer securities, instead of donating cash.
If they have held the stock for at least one year, donors receive a tax deduction for the full value of the stock at the time of donation (not just the amount paid for the stock).
Donors also avoid paying both capital gains tax and stock sales commissions. As a result, they can give to their favorite nonprofits larger gifts by donating stock rather than cash.
