Understanding the Math Behind Your Gift

πŸ’΅

The Tax Deduction

When you donate to charity and itemize deductions, you can deduct the full fair-market value of your gift from your taxable income. At a 35% bracket, a $100,000 gift reduces your tax bill by $35,000.

πŸ“ˆ

The Stock Advantage

If you donate appreciated stock rather than cash, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation and still claim the full market value as a deduction. This "double benefit" is one of the most powerful giving strategies available.

The DAF Multiplier

A donor-advised fund lets you take the deduction in a high-income year while granting to charities over time. Some DAF sponsors also let you invest assets, so your charitable balance can grow before distribution.
