Instructions for Donations of Stock or Mutual Fund Shares to SFCMP
If your stock has increased in value since you bought it, you can avoid capital gains tax on the increase by donating the stock.

If your stock has declined in value, then we recommend you sell it in order to claim a tax loss and donate cash instead.
