A gift of stock or other appreciated securities can offer much needed support to Half the Sky while also offering you added benefits. If you sell the securities, you will be liable for tax on the gain, leaving you with less cash to give or to reinvest. By donating the securities, you pay no capital gain tax and qualify for an income tax deduction for the full market value on the date of the gift.

Donating stock to Half the Sky is a simple two-part process

• First, please contact us via email or phone before initiating a stock transfer. Knowing in advance that you are making a gift of stock will prevent delay in processing and acknowledging your donation because we were not able to recognize you as the donor. Include the following information in your e-mail:
  • name of security
  • number of shares
  • broker or bank name
  • date gift initiated
    
• Next, contact (or have your broker contact) Eric Susantio at UBS in San Jose, CA, USA at
