Donating stock is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. You can make a bigger impact and save on your taxes. With Overflow, it’s now easier and more secure than ever.
More About Giving
Overflow is a digital solution for giving non-cash assets, enabling you to give in the most tax-efficient way. Through Overflow, you can give:
- Via credit, debit, and ACH

- Cryptocurrency
- Donor advised funds (a specialized financial account used for charitable giving)
You’ll also have access to a private donor portal to view giving history, transaction statuses, and the ability to update connected financial accounts.

You can give any publicly-traded stock through Overflow.
Giving Appreciated Stock
Giving stock that you’ve held for over a year can save you up to 37% in federal income taxes based on the value of the charitable gift when itemizing deductions and protect your realized gains from being subjected to long-term capital gains tax, which can be up to 20%.
Consult with a tax professional to understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, including potential state tax savings.
Giving Company Stock Outside the Trading Window
If you received company-distributed stock as an employee and the trading window is not open, your brokerage will likely reject the transfer request. We suggest you ask your company for the trading windows and give during those time periods, which typically are open quarterly for three to four weeks at a time.
To claim your charitable tax deduction, file Form 8283 for the 1040 tax return. To calculate how much to deduct from your taxes, the general rule of thumb is to deduct the fair market value, which is the average of the high/low price of the stock on the day it was received by the nonprofit. This is for assets you’ve held for more than a year. The date the stock was received by the nonprofit can be found in the acknowledgment letter you receive from the nonprofit. Include this letter in your tax return.
