Record the Donation For accounting purposes, publicly traded stock should be counted at the average of the high and low selling prices on the gift date (the date you receive it).

A gift of stock is a donation of property. If a charity receives a gift of publicly traded stock, the charity should send the donor an acknowledgement letter that describes the stock (i.e., “Thank you for your donation of 100 shares of XYZ Corporation”) but does not place a monetary value on the shares.

Providing Receipts As soon as the donation is in your brokerage account, send the donor a nonprofit stock acknowledgment letter that includes a tax receipt for it.

A donation receipt is a written acknowledgment of a donor's contribution to a charitable organization. It helps supporters and nonprofits keep good records of gifts and offers an opportunity for nonprofits to express their appreciation.

When you donate stock directly to a charity, you are eligible for a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the donated stock (up to 30% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for the tax year). This allows you to reduce your taxable income and save on taxes.

Providing Receipts As soon as the donation is in your brokerage account, send the donor a nonprofit stock acknowledgment letter that includes a tax receipt for it.

The same applies to stock gifts/donations. In this case, you should send a donation receipt comprising details such as the ticker symbol, the number of shares, and the donation date. Mentioning the value of the stock is not necessary since a nonprofit is not supposed to be assigning value to stocks or gifts.

In that case, all you need to provide in the donation receipt is the name and EIN of the organization, date of donation, and a description of the donated item. You should also add a note stating that the valuation of the item is the donor's income tax responsibility.
