Donating publicly traded stock and securities is one of the most impactful ways to support the Wanlah Foundation. A gift of appreciated assets is a powerful and tax-efficient method of philanthropy that can help you make a larger impact than you may have thought possible.
Your gift of stock allows us to continue our vital work, turning your investment into a lasting legacy of health, education, and opportunity in Cameroon.
The benefits of donating stock
- Amplify Your Impact: By donating stock that has appreciated in value, you can generally give more than if you sold the stock and donated the cash proceeds, as you may avoid capital gains tax.
- Enjoy Tax Efficiency: A gift of securities can be one of the most tax-wise ways to give. As tax laws vary by country and personal situation, we strongly advise you to consult with your financial advisor to discuss the benefits.
- Support Our Mission Directly: Your securities will be efficiently processed, and the proceeds will be invested directly into our on-the-ground programs.
