Donate Stock

Contributions to DGH are deductible on your 1040 and on state income tax returns. How much that amounts to depends on your tax rate. For example, if the combined federal and state rate at which your income is taxed is 40 percent, then 40 cents of every dollar you give to DGH is money that you would otherwise be paying to federal and state governments as taxes.

The deduction allowed for gifts of an appreciated security (stock) can be much higher because it is usually the fair market value at the time it is donated, not at the time it was purchased. Let’s say you paid $5,000 for 100 shares of stock, and that stock is now worth $7,500. If you cash it in, you’ll have to pay capital gains tax on the $2,500 dollars the stock went up. But, if you give the stock to DGH, you can deduct the full $7,500 from your taxes without paying any capital gains tax.

Creative Fundraising Ideas

DGH supporters have raised money for DGH in many creative ways. They have sold rice and beans and their photographs. They have held concerts, rock-climbing events, and auctions. They have found that these are all great opportunities for fund- and friend-raising.
