Non Cash and Smart Giving Options
Transform your appreciated assets into brighter futures. Amplify your impact with LightBridge while maximizing your tax benefits.
Why Give Appreciated Assets?
1. Avoid Capital Gains Tax
By donating appreciated stocks, crypto, or assets directly to LightBridge, you bypass capital gains taxes—allowing you to keep up to 20% more working toward brighter futures.
2. Receive a Fair Market Value Deduction
Your generosity grows with your assets. Claim a tax deduction for the full, current fair market value of your gift, turning appreciated growth into brighter futures.
Example: A $10,000 stock gift that cost you $2,000 saves you ~$1,500 in capital gains taxes PLUS gives you a $10,000 charitable deduction—potentially worth $3,700 in additional tax savings (at a 37% tax rate). Your total benefit: $5,200+!
