Gifts of Stock

Donating shares of a publicly traded company is an excellent means of providing a tax-deductible donation to DRF. Your gift of stock that has appreciated in value over time may provide you with a greater tax benefit than giving cash. Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock. You may also avoid paying capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock. Please contact your tax professional for current tax benefits. Your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock by a direct transfer to DRF.

If you would like to make a gift of stock to the Deafness Research Foundation, please email us at development@drf.org , or if you prefer, you may use our mail-in form.

If you have questions about giving, please call Liz Saldaña, Chief Development Officer, at 212-328-9518 or send e-mail to: development@drf.org.
