Gifts of stock are deductible at full-market value of the stock on the date of the gift—up to 30% of your adjusted gross income in any year.

Unused deductions can be carried forward for up to five years. By making gifts of stock, you avoid paying capital gains tax and, at the same time, allow Catholic Charities CYO to apply the full value of your gifts to charitable goals. It's possible to link your brokerage account directly to Catholic Charities CYO's brokerage account.

For more information about making a stock gift, contact the Development Office at development@cccyo.org.
