Electronic Transfer of Stock Instructions

Gift of Stock
Making a gift of stock to Good Earth Village is a wonderful way to impact lives through the ministry of Good Earth Village.  Gifts of securities, such as stock, are one of the most popular assets used for charitable giving because of the mutual benefits provided to the charitable organization and the donor. 

How it works
Selling a stock or bond that has appreciated in value subjects the individual seller to a tax on that capital gain. A charity, such as Good Earth Village, is not subject to income taxation therefore it can sell your donated securities without being subject to the capital gains tax. Additionally, a charitable gift of securities held for over one year often entitles the donor to an income tax deduction equal to the value of the security at the time it is given to the charity.
