Healthcare can be a puzzle for many rural communities in developing communities.  Curamericas helps people to identify those pieces and then to figure how they can fit together to improve the overall health of the community, whether is improvements in sanitation, nutrition, or working to prevent disease.

Donate Stock or Securities

The advantages of contributing appreciated stock are clear - you can save twice when you make a gift of securities.

First, you can save capital gains taxes if you use appreciated securities to make your gift to Curamericas Global. The full value of your securities will help the communities we serve and the capital gains tax triggered by the sale of the stock is avoided.

Second, you can deduct the full value of the stock as a charitable contribution. This lowers income tax and further lowers the effective cost of your gift.

If you are interested in making this type of gift, we recommend that you consult with your financial or legal advisor on a strategy for your individual situation. For general information on these types of gifts, you can contact Stephanie McMillan, Development Associate, toll free at (877) 510-4787 or at stephanie@curamericas.org.

Can a gift of depreciated stock to Curamericas Global still have tax benefits?

By selling stock at a loss and then making a donation to Curamericas in the amount that the stock was sold for, you can claim a charitable deduction for the gift and deduct the stock's decrease in value from your other income, thereby reducing the taxes you pay.

You can deduct up to $1,500 if you are single and $3,000 if you are married, but any amount of loss above that can be carried over to future years until completely deducted.
