Making a Gift of Stock

There are many advantages if you choose to make a gift of securities to help support our patients and families.


Your gift may qualify you for unique tax benefits including an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift. You may also avoid paying capital gains tax on the increased value of the stock. If you want to donate depreciated stock, it is generally best to sell the assets first and then donate the proceeds to Hospice of the Western Reserve. Please contact your tax adviser for information on the specific implications for your situation.

Remember, you should transfer the stock directly to Hospice of the Western Reserve before it is sold, in order to receive the maximum tax benefit.  If your broker holds the stock, instruct your broker in writing of the shares you wish to give to Hospice of the Western Reserve. Send a copy of your letter to Hospice of the Western Reserve.  Be sure to include your name or the donor's name, address and phone number.

To complete an ELECTRONIC TRANSFER of stock, your broker will need the direct transfer code (DTC) number and our account number. Please call the Hospice of the Western Reserve Development Office at 855.475.0245 for this information.
