Stock Donations to the Folk Arts Center of New England

Donating appreciated stock to a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization such as the Folk Arts Center has significant tax advantages for the donor.

For appreciated securities held longer than one year, the full fair market value of a stock donation can be deducted; consult a tax advisor for details. FAC’s broker sells the donated stock and remits the proceeds to FAC.
