Why Donate Stock Instead of Cash?
Donating stock is one of the smartest — and most generous — ways to give.
When you donate appreciated shares directly to YWCA Greater Austin, you can:
Avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation.
Deduct the full fair market value of the gift on your federal taxes (if you itemize).
Make a bigger impact — your gift goes further, helping sustain financial wellness, reproductive health and youth empowerment programs for women right here in Austin.
(Always consult your tax advisor for personalized advice.)
