Making a gift of stock to the Bay Area Community Foundation is an easy and tax-effective way to fulfill your philanthropic goals. Your gift qualifies for a tax deduction based on the full market value of your stock; plus, if the stock has appreciated in value, you avoid the capital gains tax that would otherwise arise from the sale of these shares.
