STOCKS & APPRECIATED
ASSET GIFTS

Many people choose to contribute to the mission of the San Antonio Food Bank by transferring securities instead of making a direct contribution of cash. Should you choose to make a gift of securities, you will not pay capital gains tax on your gift – and you may be able to claim a Federal income tax deduction based on the full fair market value of the securities on the effective date of your gift.

There are several ways to transfer stock to the San Antonio Food Bank. The most convenient way to donate stock is to use electronic wire transfer.

For further information or help, please contact our Individual Giving Team (their contact information is at the bottom of this page). We will be able to assist you with the details of the transfer.

The charitable IRA rollover is also knows as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). This is a special provision that allows certain donors to exclude taxable income, and count toward their required minimum distribution, certain transfers of Individual Retirement Account (IRA) assets that are made directly to public charities.

On December 18, 2015, President Obama signed legislation indefinitely extending the charitable IRA rollover, making it retroactive to January 1, 2015, with no expiration date.

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a non-profit giving program administered by a third party. You contribute to the account, which grows tax –free. You can recommend, but not direct, how much and how often you would like to distribute money from the fund to the San Antonio Food Bank or other organizations.

You qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction at the time you contribute to the account.
