FAQ
To process stock donations, a nonprofit would have to work with each donor individually to send the donation form, track and record the gift, send an acknowledgment letter, ensure paperwork was correct, liquidate and reinvest funds, and avoid forgery and fraud—all by hand!
Let's break down each step: Decide which shares of stock you want to donate. Obtain your nonprofit's account information. Fill out the appropriate stock donation forms and send them to your brokerage. Follow up with the charity to make sure the donation is received. Report the stock donation when you file your taxes.
The modern way to accept stock gifts: 4 steps Use a stock giving tool to help facilitate the process. Publish an information-capture page to gate the information and automate the giving process. Direct donors to your stock giving page. Automatically send donors the transfer instructions for their brokerage.
Providing Receipts As soon as the donation is in your brokerage account, send the donor a nonprofit stock acknowledgment letter that includes a tax receipt for it.
Tax-Return Filing For a donation of publicly traded stock, you do not need an appraisal, but you do need to report the donation on Section A of Form 8283.
Ing to the IRS, any kind of donation above $250 should require a donation receipt. The same applies to stock gifts/donations.
Write in the total fair market value of your donation. This value is determined by you, the donor. Goodwill provides a donation value guide to help determine fair market value. Please note: Goodwill employees cannot help determine fair market value.
The same applies to stock gifts/donations. In this case, you should send a donation receipt comprising details such as the ticker symbol, the number of shares, and the donation date. Mentioning the value of the stock is not necessary since a nonprofit is not supposed to be assigning value to stocks or gifts.
Example 2: Individual Acknowledgment Letter Hi donor name, We're super grateful for your contribution of $250 to nonprofit's name on date received. As a thank you, we sent you a T-shirt with an estimated fair market value of $25 in exchange for your contribution.
Form 8283 has two sections. If you must file Form 8283, you must complete either Section A or Section B depending on the type of property donated and the amount claimed as a deduction. Members in a pass-through entity completing their own Form 8283 should complete the same section of the Form (Section A or B)
