3. Stock Donations
Donating stock is a wonderful way to help FCF fund programs. Whether your portfolio performance was above market averages or even if you had a decline in your portfolio value, donating stock to FCF is a wise investment in promoting Fitness and Health.

If you have stock that you have owned for more than one year, and it has appreciated since you purchased it, you can save on the capital gains tax you would owe if you sold it yourself by donating the stock to FCF. And since FCF is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, you will be entitled to an income tax deduction for the full current market value of your gift, to the extent allowed by law.

Here is an example: Ms. B. Nice purchased 100 shares of ABC stock three years ago at $50 per share or $5,000. This stock is now worth $100 per share, or $10,000. If Ms. Nice sold the stock, she would pay capital gains taxes on the $5,000 of appreciation. If Ms. Nice donates the stock to FCF, she is entitled to a charitable deduction of $10,000 from her taxes and pays no capital gains tax.

Plus, you can deduct stock donations equal to an amount of up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income, and any excess deductible amount can be carried over for as long as five years to offset income or capital gains taxes. How to promote health and fitness—and Your Investment Portfolio

4. Workplace Donations
The funds that FCF receives from workplace contributions do make a difference-a huge difference! If you are a federal or state government employee, if you participate in a United Way campaign, or if your company conducts its own giving campaign, then designating FCF to receive your workplace contributions is another important way that you can help.
