Gifts of Stock or Appreciated Assets
Your gift of stock or appreciated assets can help us advance research into rare diseases, shorten patient time to diagnosis, and optimize patient care. Every donation, no matter its form, aids us in our mission and brings us closer to achieving our goals.
Why Consider a Donation of Stock or Appreciated Assets?
- Avoid paying capital gains tax and related state taxes
- In many cases, receive a tax deduction for the full value of the assets
- Make a significant impact on our mission
Donating stock, bonds, or other appreciated assets can be an extremely tax-efficient way to support NORD. When you donate appreciated assets held for more than one year, you may avoid capital gains taxes and be eligible to take a tax deduction for the full fair-market value of the asset.
