Stocks
Stock
A gift of appreciated assets to PRASAD, owned by you for more than one year, qualifies for a charitable contribution deduction equal to the full fair market value of the assets. Your gift would then be sold by PRASAD, and since PRASAD is a not-for-profit organization, the appreciation would not be taxed.
