Giving a gift of stock to the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles is a wise investment. Giving stock that has been held longer than one year allows you to avoid paying any capital gains tax that would otherwise be due. In addition, you can claim a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock on the date on which it was transferred, not just for what it was worth when you acquired it.

For more information on giving the gift of stock, please call Tracy Clark, Director, Fund Development by calling the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles: (213) 365-2991 or email her at
