A popular way of making charitable donations is through appreciated marketable securities instead of cash. By making a gift of stock, the donor receives an income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities on the day the stock is sold. In addition, the donor will avoid paying capital gains tax, should he/she have sold the securities independently, thus gaining a double benefit.
