Benefits of Stock Donations

How It Works

When you donate appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year:

Tax Efficiency Example

If you bought stock for $5,000 that is now worth $10,000 and you sell it, you would pay capital gains tax on the $5,000 profit. But if you donate it to Point of View instead, you get a $10,000 tax deduction and avoid all capital gains taxes!

Getting Started

If you would like to make a gift of stock to Point of View, contact your stockbroker or financial advisor and let them know you want to make a gift of stock. Tell them which stock you want to donate and how many shares. Your broker/advisor or your financial institution can initiate the stock transfer with the following information:

Client Name: Point of View Ministries
Receiving Firm: Pershing, LLC
DTC# 0443
For Credit to account #: 5HQ732172

One important note: if you would like an acknowledgement from Point of View for your stock gift, please let us know which stock you plan to donate and the number of shares. Your information is not given to us at the time the stock is transferred, and we will not be able to send an acknowledgment of your gift unless you let us know about the transfer.
