How a Gift of Stock Can Be A Win-Win
When you donate securities to Operation Delta Dog, you receive the same income tax savings as if you wrote OPDD a check directly, but with the added benefit of eliminating capital gains tax on the transfer!

Example: A stock purchased a year ago for $10,000, appreciated to $25,000 today, would trigger $2,250 in capital gains tax if sold. On the other hand, donating the stocks to OPDD would generate a $25,000 income tax charitable deduction, and $0 capital gains tax. Talk about a win-win!
