To make a charitable donation other than cash, consider a gift in kind. Whether donating products, services or property your contributions go a long way in helping Variety help kids. Your donations can also result in significant tax advantages.
Publicly Listed Securities
Donations of shares in publicly traded securities can be used as an outright gift or to fund a charitable remainder trust or endowment. Charitable gifts of publicly traded securities, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds are more beneficial for capital gain tax purposes, than selling them and donating the proceeds.
When considering charitable gifts of this nature, consult a financial advisor and a Planned Giving representative from Variety - The Children's Charity. This will guarantee that your best interests are served while at the same time ensuring the best use of your gift to Variety.
