Donate Stocks

Put Stock in Something That Matters

Did you know that when you donate stock, you avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution?  When you give stock, you may earn 2-3x the tax savings vs. donating cash.  It’s a win-win for you and us.  And now it’s fast, safe, and easy to do.

BookSpring has partnered with DonateStock.com to enable you to make stock donations in 10 minutes or less. Our DoanteStock page enables you to donate stock through a secure portal, making the gifting process safe and easy.

By giving stock, your support will have an even greater impact – helping create home libraries for young readers. Give smart and save more by putting stock in something that matters.

Best of all, stock gifting is now fast, safe, and free.  

In 10 minutes or less, you can donate stock!

Giving a gift of stocks or securities will help BookSpring continue its literacy mission and provide substantial tax benefits. Please consult your tax advisor for more details about these specific benefits.

If you are still considering a gift of stocks or other securities, there are two more ways that you can give to BookSpring:

  1.  Contact a Donor Advised Fund (see more here) and follow their instructions to set up an account and make a donation.
  2.  Contact BookSpring at give@bookspring.org or (512) 472-1791 x 104, and we can help you donate directly to the BookSpring brokerage account by providing account routing information and signing any required forms. BookSpring will provide you with a charitable gift receipt for direct donations of stock based on the value of the stock at the time and date the transfer is made.
