KXCI accepts transfers of stock through our account with Winn Financial Group, LPL Financial. The gift must be made in the name of Foundation for Creative Broadcasting dba KXCI. In order to facilitate the assignment of the stock, it must be transferred via the DTC method.
Gifts of stock will be recorded on the day the stock is received in our brokerage account, at the median market value on that day. You will receive a written acknowledgment to confirm receipt of your gift.

Please consult with your tax advisors to determine how, specifically, the charitable deduction will work for your unique tax situation.
Giving Stock – FAQ
Q: What are the benefits of giving stock?
A: You receive gift credit and, depending on your specific tax situation, you may receive an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them. You pay no capital gains tax on the securities you donate.
Q: Securities fluctuate in price. How will my stocks be valued?
A: We will issue an acknowledgment letter indicating the high and low prices for the security on the date of its transfer to us. Your tax advisor will use this information to determine the value of the donation.
If the stock you donate is held by your broker, the gift date is the day the stock reaches our account.
Q: Is it difficult to transfer securities?
A: Not at all, and we can help you through every step of the process.
Q: Shouldn’t I just sell the stock first and contribute the proceeds to KXCI?
A: Even though you will receive a deduction, you will pay capital gains tax on the sale, eliminating a key tax benefit of your gift.
Q: Can I contribute stocks that have declined in value?
A: The fair-market-value deduction rule works against you: if you bought the stock for $50,000 and it’s now worth $30,000, your charitable deduction will be limited to $30,000. You won’t be able to claim a capital loss by making the transfer to us, either. Instead, you are better off selling the depreciated stock, claiming the resulting tax loss as a deduction, then making a deductible cash gift to KXCI with the proceeds of that sale.
