Giving Securities and Real Estate

Charitable gifts of appreciated property benefit you and Whitman-Walker Clinic. Property held longer than 12 months can be deducted at full, fair-market value, and may be used to offset as much as 30 percent of your adjusted gross income for up to five  years.  By making a direct gift of appreciated property you avoid capital gains taxes that would be incurred if the property was sold.  It is more advantageous to contribute directly to Whitman-Walker Clinic rather than to sell and donate the proceeds.

To learn more about how direct gifts benefit you and Whitman-Walker Clinic, please call (202)797-3520.
