Maximize your impact and your tax benefits.
Donate appreciated assets or cryptocurrency directly to skip capital gains taxes.
Put Your Investments to Work Saving Lives.
You turn your investments into immediate, lifesaving medical care and shelter for homeless pets by donating appreciated stocks, mutual funds, or cryptocurrency directly to the Jacksonville Humane Society. Because the IRS treats these assets as property, giving directly allows you to bypass capital gains taxes and maximize your tax deduction while helping local animals in need.
You can transfer stocks and mutual funds through your brokerage or donate digital assets securely online via The Giving Block.
Maximize Your Impact
Donating appreciated assets directly offers greater tax advantages than selling them first and donating the cash proceeds. Check with your financial advisor to see how giving stocks, securities, or crypto can benefit your tax strategy while helping more shelter pets thrive.
If you are 70½ or older, consider making your support go even further through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA. Giving through your retirement account allows your donation to count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) without being included in your taxable income. It is a simple, tax-smart way to turn your retirement savings into lifesaving care.
Thank you for choosing to support the Jacksonville Humane Society. Every gift helps give local animals the care, compassion, and second chances they deserve.
