Unleash Generosity by Donating Stock

Maximize your impact by gifting stock to Connect Global.

Introducing a new way to give to Connect Global

Donating stock can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. We've partnered with Overflow to make donating stock and crypto online quick, easy, and secure.

Make a life changing impact in just a few seconds

Have you considered donating stock before? Connect Global partners with a platform called Overflow that makes donating stock as easy as donating via cash or credit, plus it could be tax-advantageous for you as the donor.

You could potentially save up to 20% in capital gains taxes and up to 37% in federal income taxes* based on your tax bracket and the charitable donation value of your gift when itemizing deductions. That means more of your gift goes directly to the cause you care about.

Would you consider maximizing your donation in this way?

    Impact Report

  • Overflow is a digital solution for donating non-cash assets, enabling donors to give in the most tax-efficient way. Donors can experience the ease of giving via stock or crypto in less than 5 minutes from their mobile device. Overflow also provides givers access to a private Donor Portal which enables visibility into gift history, transaction statuses, and the ability to update connected financial accounts.

  • Overflow’s Information Security Program follows the criteria set forth by the SOC 2 Framework, a widely respected information security auditing procedure. Overflow does not have access to nor store any brokerage account usernames or passwords. They use Yodlee, a third party provider, that handles the brokerage login process. Over 600 companies including PayPal, Mint, and Amazon use Yodlee to connect their clients’ accounts.

  • You can give any publicly traded stock through Overflow. By donating assets that have appreciated in value for more than one year, you are more likely to get the highest tax benefits.

  • Donating appreciated stock that you’ve held for over a year can allow you to save up to 20% in capital gains taxes and up to 37% in federal income taxes on the charitable donation value of your gift based on your tax bracket when itemizing deductions.

    To understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, including potential state tax savings, please consult with your tax professional for information about your personal tax implications.

  • Overflow currently supports over 10 brokerages via their self-guided platform including the most popular brokers such as Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and E*Trade. If Overflow doesn’t have a direct connection to your brokerage account, your gift can still be fulfilled through their off-platform concierge service. If you are in Overflow’s donor experience and your brokerage account is not one of the 10+ currently supported with a direct connection, you’ll be taken to a form to contact Overflow’s donor operations team. You can also choose to opt in to Overflow’s fully-guided concierge service by emailing stockgifts@overflow.co

  • If you received company-distributed stock as an employee and the trading window is not open, your brokerage will likely reject the transfer request. We suggest you ask your company for the trading windows and give during those time periods, which typically are open quarterly for 3 to 4 weeks at a time.
