Give Stock

Donating securities and mutual funds is a tax-savvy way to improve children's health. When you give stock to support Children's National Hospital, you can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. You may also be entitled to an income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of transfer.

There are two ways that donating securities can support our work:

Making an Outright Gift

When you make an outright gift of securities to Children’s National, you get the same income tax savings as you would with a cash gift, and you also get the benefit of eliminating capital gains tax. Download instructions for making a gift of securities (PDF) or contact the Gift Administration team or call 301-565-8463.

Placing a Transfer on Death (TOD) on Your Investment

When you place a TOD on an investment account, that account will be given to a person or organization of your choice after your lifetime. Please contact Tamara Sperling for more information.
