Outright Gift of Appreciated Securities

A Tax-Savvy Way to Give and Support

Donating appreciated securities—such as stocks or mutual funds—is a smart and impactful way to support Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka. If you’ve held these assets for over a year and they’ve increased in value, you can not only support the local youth but also receive significant financial benefits.


When you contribute appreciated securities, you may reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the appreciated portion of your asset. Additionally, you could qualify for a charitable deduction based on the full fair market value of the securities at the time of donation, allowing you to maximize your tax savings.

Securities can be used to support our mission in several ways:

  • Outright Donation: By donating securities directly to Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka, you’ll receive similar tax advantages as a cash donation, but with the added bonus of avoiding capital gains taxes, which can reach up to 20%. This means more of your money goes to making a difference for the kids who need it most.

  • Transfer on Death (TOD) Account*: You can designate Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka as the beneficiary of your brokerage or investment account. After your lifetime, the funds in this account will be transferred directly to support our programs, ensuring your legacy lives on without the need for probate.

*State Laws govern all TOD accounts. Please consult with your financial advisor to explore the best options for you, and learn how your gift can impact Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka for generations to come.
