Donating to OBOS through Planned Giving

Planned giving enables donors to give gifts of assets, either during your lifetime or through a will or testamentary instrument. A charitable gift of stock provides an opportunity for tax savings while generously supporting OBOS. Giving stock that has been held longer than one year allows you to avoid paying any capital gains tax that would otherwise be due. In addition, you can claim a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock on the date on which it was transferred, not just for what it was worth when you acquired it. And most importantly, making the transfer is simple.
