A Gift of Stock Can Help Change a Life

When you donate stock to Supportive Housing Communities (SHC), you’re doing more than making a financial gift — you’re offering stability, dignity, and hope to our neighbors who need it most. Your support helps individuals and families move from surviving to thriving — from unhoused to having a safe, permanent place to live again.

Giving stock can also come with added benefits for you as a donor:

• You may be able to avoid or reduce capital gains tax.
• If the stock has been held for more than one year, you may be eligible for a charitable income tax deduction based on its current fair market value (subject to IRS limitations).
• In many cases, donating appreciated stock directly to SHC is more advantageous than selling the stock and donating the proceeds.

We encourage you to speak with your tax or financial advisor to determine how a gift of stock could work for you. Thank you for considering this powerful way to make a lasting impact for our neighbors.
