Aside from helping support a worthy cause, stock donations can maximize the value of a gift to both the charitable recipient and the donor. Compared with selling appreciated securities and donating the after-tax net proceeds, a direct gift of stock has the potential to increase the net proceeds to the charity and maximize a donor's tax deduction.
When donating appreciated securities (e.g., stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.) with long-term holding periods of one year or more, the amount of the donor's tax deduction is equal to the average value of the high and low price of the securities on the date of the gift. You may generally deduct up to 30% of your Adjusted Gross Income for contributions of appreciated securities held more than one year.
Donating stock to charity is as easy as calling your financial advisor and providing transfer instructions with the following information.

Contact Kerry Irvin at [email protected] to learn more about opening your home to our nation's Special Operators and their spouses.
Special Operations Forces represent just 3% of America's military, yet they stand as our nation’s Tip of the Spear—shouldering the most demanding missions and greatest sacrifices to protect our freedoms. Honor their service and strength by securing the future well-being of SOF service members, veterans, and their families through a lasting estate gift.
"Operation Healing Forces began in 2011 to aid America’s most elite warriors, Special Operations Forces and their families. This organization has now become my legacy."
"The sacrifices that these young men and women make in terms of death, in terms of suicide, in terms of stress on the family, is unbelievable. This is one of the most compelling initiatives that I have ever been involved in."
"We want to make sure that our donations are helping the people we want to help, instead of funding administrative expenses. Operation Healing Forces has an amazing model really takes its mission to heart."
"Operation Healing Forces is one of the few charities I’m aware of where all of the administrative costs are funded by the founders. That’s phenomenal."
Operation Healing Forces offers Transition Grants to support the unique needs of Special Operations Forces (SOF) members and their families as they shift from military to civilian life. Whether it's job training, certification, relocation, or tools needed for a new career, this grant helps ease the financial burden of transition.
Transition Grants are designed to fund:
Awards generally range from , depending on the request and provided documentation.
“This certification will help me meet job qualifications in cybersecurity and increase my competitiveness for employment after service.”
“These tools are required for me to start work as a mechanic and are not provided by the employer.”
“My spouse’s medical billing course will enable her to work remotely and provide income during my shift from military to civilian life.”
“Relocating for a confirmed job offer ensures I can begin work immediately after separation.”
Most requests are reviewed within 7–10 business days.
