When you use stocks that have increased in value to fund a gift to Volunteers of America you can generally give them and deduct their current value, not just their original cost, from your taxable income. Giving in this way also allows you to bypass capital gains tax that would be due if the appreciated stocks were sold. Gifts of appreciated stock can eliminate tax on up to 30% of your adjusted gross income. (You must have owned the stocks for more than 1 year. Talk to your financial advisor about your situation).
