Stock Donation

Giving stock to Seamark Ranch

A gift of stock can be a wise way to support Seamark Ranch while also offering potential tax advantages to you as the donor.

Potential Tax advantages of donating

When you contribute long-term, appreciated investments such as publicly traded stock directly to a charitable organization like Seamark Ranch, you can claim a charitable deduction for up to the full fair market value of the securities. In many cases, you may also avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value from when you purchased the stock to the time you give it. Because of this, giving stock directly can sometimes allow you to provide more than if you sold the stock yourself and donated the after-tax proceeds. Each donor’s situation is different, so we strongly encourage you to talk with your financial or tax advisor about how a stock gift to Seamark Ranch may affect your personal tax planning.

how a stock gift helps Seamark Ranch

When you donate stock directly to Seamark Ranch rather than selling it first, the ministry may receive a larger gift than if you had given the cash from the sale. In most cases, Seamark can sell the transferred shares without paying capital gains taxes, so more of your gift goes straight to caring for children. Maximizing the value of your donation enables us to invest more in our mission: providing a stable, Christ-centered home, education, and hope for children who have come from hard places.
