Frequently asked questions.
What kind of stock gift should I discuss with YBLC?
Our donor guide highlights gifts of publicly traded securities that have increased in value and been held for more than one year. Contact our Development team about the securities you’re considering before starting a transfer.
Should I sell the shares first?
Talk with your broker or tax advisor before selling. Donating shares directly and selling them before donating cash can have different tax consequences. Our team can provide transfer instructions once you and your advisor decide how to proceed.
Are there potential tax benefits?
Gifts of appreciated stock held for more than one year may offer tax advantages. Your eligibility, deduction, and reporting requirements depend on your circumstances and current rules. Ask your tax advisor to review your gift. See IRS guidance on charitable contributions.
Can I direct my gift to a particular program?
You can support YBLC’s overall mission, a specific program, or the Transforming Futures campaign. Contact our Development team to discuss your preferred designation before the transfer.
What should I share when a transfer is on its way?
Let our Development team know your name, the security name, the number of shares, and the expected transfer date so we can help identify your gift and thank you. Your broker can confirm the transfer timing.
