At Africa’s Promise Village, we believe that every act of giving, whether small or large, is an act of profound empathy. When you choose to support our mission, your generosity directly reaches a child who needs safety, health, and a future. Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is one of the most effective ways to make your contribution go further than you ever thought possible.

By choosing to Donate Stock or Securities to Africa’s Promise Village, you are not just funding a program; you are converting your assets into immediate, life-changing stability for children across our campus. This method is smart, secure, and maximizes the positive emotional and financial impact for everyone involved.

Giving Smarter: The Dual Tax Advantage

Donating appreciated securities is a strategic decision that benefits you, the donor, as much as it benefits the children we serve. For stocks held for more than one year, this method offers a significant tax advantage:

Benefit 1: Eliminate Capital Gains Tax

When you Donate Stock or Securities to Africa’s Promise Village directly, you completely bypass paying capital gains tax on any appreciation the asset has earned. This is money that stays in the charitable mission, rather than going to the IRS. By eliminating this cost, you ensure a larger portion of the asset’s full market value goes directly to funding our students’ tuition and meals.

Benefit 2: Claim a Fair Market Value Deduction

You are generally eligible to take a federal income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the appreciated securities on the date of the gift. This allows you to claim a larger deduction than if you had sold the stock, paid the taxes, and then donated the remaining cash.

Empathy in Action: How Your Gift Helps Our Kids

Every gift, regardless of size, matters immensely. While this method often involves high-value assets, you can Donate Stock or Securities to Africa’s Promise Village to fund any goal, from a single student’s essential needs to major infrastructure projects.

  • Small Gifts with Big Impact: Even a security worth $240 can be transferred to fund a child’s full nutrition for an entire year, supporting their health and academic focus.

  • Large Gifts for Sustained Change: A significant transfer allows us to secure a graduate’s full university tuition or fund infrastructure projects like the Solar Equipment installation, guaranteeing long-term sustainability.

When you Donate Stock or Securities to Africa’s Promise Village, your financial security is directly transformed into a child’s safe future. Your generosity addresses the pain of abandonment and poverty, replacing fear with the security of education.
