Make a Bigger Impact with a Gift of Appreciated Stock

If you own publicly traded stock that has increased in value, donating those shares directly to Little Chefs, Big Change is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support our mission.

By transferring appreciated securities instead of selling them first, you may be able to:

• Avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.

• Receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the donated shares, if you itemize deductions and meet IRS requirements.

• Maximize the impact of your gift by directing more of your investment's value to support our programs rather than taxes.

Once your gift is received, Little Chefs, Big Change will sell the securities, and 100% of the net proceeds will be used to advance our mission of empowering children through culinary education.

Your gift of stock can be used to:

• Support Little Chefs, Big Change's current programs and greatest needs.

• Fund a specific initiative or program, if designated.

• Create a lasting legacy by making a significant charitable investment in our future.

A thoughtful giving strategy can help you maximize both your tax benefits and your charitable impact.
