If you Own Stocks or Mutual Funds:
By donating appreciated assets, you can save on two types of taxes: avoiding capital gains tax and often getting a full deduction for the value of your gift.
If you’re 70.5 or older and want to lower your taxable income: Donations from your IRA to the ASP reduce your taxable income and can help meet a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
