Donate Stock – A Smart and Meaningful Way to Give

Appreciated Stock image for Lifespark Cancer ResourcesGiving stock can be one of the most tax-smart ways to support LifeSpark. Instead of paying capital gains tax when you sell appreciated stock, you can donate it directly—and often avoid those taxes altogether.

That means your gift can go up to 20% further, helping more people with cancer find peace, comfort, and dignity during their hardest fight.

You may also qualify for a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of your stock in the year you give, which can increase your tax savings even more.

✨ With a stock donation, you keep more of your resources working for you—while making a deeper impact for the people we serve.

How to Donate Stock

Ask your broker to transfer your appreciated stock directly to LifeSpark Cancer Resources. They will need our account details (DTC number, account name, and account number).  Please contact Paul Stratton for this information, and give him your name, transfer date, stock name, number of shares, and any other relevant details. This helps us track your gift, thank you properly, and provide your tax receipt.

✨ A simple transfer can turn your stock into peace, comfort, and dignity for people facing cancer.
