Contributing appreciated securities to The Foundation for Democracy in Africa (FDA) can benefit you in two ways, as you not only avoid paying capital gains taxes, but you also receive a charitable tax deduction.

Stocks may be transferred either electronically or by mail. Please contact our office for details on transmission instructions and procedures for Transmitting Stock. Please do not mail physical stock certificates to The FDA.
For additional information on making a gift of stock, or if you are interested in contributing mutual funds, bonds, or closely held securities, contact The FDA either by mail or email at the addresses mentioned below.

Donors may give stock and contribute appreciated securities to The FDA up to and including $10,000 without impinging upon their estate. By giving this way, you benefit in two ways; you not only avoid paying capital gains taxes, but you also receive a charitable tax deduction, because you are gifting assets.
The benefits to The FDA are obvious. In giving a gift of stock, you enable The FDA to grow and do more. It's as simple and important as that. Everyone wins.
