Gifts of Stock or Securities

Leaving a gift of stock to the Animal Legal Defense Fund is a simple, yet significant, contribution to a future where animals have a more protected place in our society, where they are not just voiceless victims of abuse and neglect.

If you have owned a corporate or mutual fund stock for at least 12 months, and it’s appreciated in value, you can donate the stock to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and deduct its full market value without paying any tax on the long-term capital gain.

If you transfer stock before December 31, you can claim the tax deduction on your tax return! You should always check with your own tax advisor before making a gift of stock or securities.

We kindly request that you please complete the below form with as much detail as possible before donating stock or securities, so we have the information needed to acknowledge your gift. If you have any questions or need assistance filling out this form, please contact stock@aldf.org.
