Donate Stock

Donating stock is a powerful way to support Guardian Group’s mission to combat domestic sex trafficking. You can maximize your impact by giving appreciated securities while receiving potential tax benefits.

How can I donate stock to Guardian Group?

  1. Initiate a Transfer – Contact your brokerage and request a stock transfer to Guardian Group. You may need the following details:
    • Brokerage Name: Charles Schwab
    • Legal Name: Guardian Group
    • Tax ID: 72-1613750
    If your brokerage requests other information contact us at [email protected] and we can get you what you need.

  3. Receive Tax Benefits – Guardian Group will provide a receipt for your records, allowing you to claim your charitable deduction.

Why does Guardian Group accept stock?

  • Tax Savings – Avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value.
  • Greater Giving Potential – Your appreciated assets can provide more support than an equivalent cash donation.
  • Simple Process – Transfer stock directly to Guardian Group with ease.

Which stocks do you accept?

We currently accept publicly traded, domestic common stock.

We are continually in the process of adding support for new assets to donate, so please check back soon for more giving options.

Are stock donations tax-deductible?

Yes! Stock donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your stock donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law; if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. 

As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor.
