“GiveClear has given my clients and I a fantastic vehicle by which they can accomplish their charitable goals. At the same time, as their Portfolio Manager, I am given the opportunity help the charitable funds to grow under the investment guidelines that they are familiar with and comfortable with. The partnership between GiveClear, my clients, and myself provides my clients with more funds and streamlined opportunities to give to the charitable causes that are near to their hearts. GiveClear’s flexible fee structure has provided a great tool that makes sense to my clients and to myself, and has deepened our relationship.”
Benefits Of Donating Publicly Traded Securities
Donating publicly traded securities can provide financial benefits to your clients:
- most tax efficient way to give
- donate “in kind” and reduce your clients' capital gains tax to $0
- by donating shares, rather than selling first, gain a larger tax credit to offset your clients' taxable income
- receive a tax receipt for the fair market value on the day of transfer of the gift in kind
Your clients will have different needs and different timing, so GiveClear Foundation makes it easy to work with the various types of assets: cash, gifts of publicly traded securities, gift in a will, life insurance, private company shares.
