Why Donate Stock to Anti-Cruelty?
Donating stock is safe and easy! By donating appreciated stocks, bonds, and mutual funds shares that have been owned for more than one year, you can receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of your gift. We accept donations in publicly traded, domestic common stocks.
Upon donating stock, you will receive an email notification that your gift is being processed. In some circumstances, you may need to take action with your broker. The email will have instructions on any next steps.
Charitable donations of stock are processed within 6-8 business days with The Giving Block in partnership with Renaissance Charitable Foundation. Processing times can be longer in December.
