The IRS offers special tax benefits for stock donations. Members who own stock may want to consider donating it to Good Shepherd for their gift to the operating, building, or other funds.

According to the IRS: "Gifts of stock can provide donors with a double tax benefit. First, they may be able to claim a charitable contribution deduction in the amount of the current market value of the donated stock. That is, they can deduct not only the original cost they paid for the donated shares, but also the value of any increase in the value of those shares. Second, donors avoid paying taxes on the appreciated value of the donated stock."
