Gifts of Stock, Securities, and Cryptocurrency

Give More Through Appreciated Assets

Donating appreciated stock, securities, or cryptocurrency directly to Franciscan Works may allow you to give more than you could through a cash gift — while potentially avoiding capital gains taxes on the appreciation. Many donors find this one of the most effective ways to increase their charitable impact.

Potential Benefits

  • May allow you to avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated assets

  • May provide a charitable tax deduction based on fair market value

  • Can increase the size of your gift without increasing out-of-pocket cost

  • Applies to a wide range of assets — publicly traded stock, mutual fund shares, and cryptocurrency

  • Helps Franciscan Works plan for larger and longer-term investments at Liberia Mission

What Your Gift Can Support

  • Teacher training and professional development

  • Educational materials, textbooks, and classroom technology

  • Vocational programs that prepare older students for employment

  • Campus infrastructure — classrooms, residential homes, kitchen facilities

  • Student opportunities beyond the classroom

Franciscan Works can provide transfer instructions and coordinate receipt of stock, securities, and cryptocurrency gifts, but we do not provide investment, tax, accounting, or legal advice. Donors should consult their broker, financial advisor, accountant, tax professional, or attorney before donating appreciated assets.
