Donate Securities

How it works

1.  You transfer appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year to Children's Hospital Central California.

2.  Children's Hospital sells your securities and uses the proceeds for its programs.

 Benefits

• You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them.
  
• You pay no capital gains tax on the securities you donate provided that you have owned the securities for more than one year.
• You can direct your gift to a specific fund or purpose.

Donating securities is an easy process. Our Foundation staff will work with you to complete your securities transfer.

NOTE: Although the information above is believed to be accurate, you should consult your attorney, accountant or gift planning advisor prior to taking any action.
