Stocks and securities
Gifts of stock and securities don’t impact your income, and you can still take a tax deduction for the full, fair market value.
- Notify your broker or financial institution that you’d like to make a gift of stock or securities to the MD SPCA.
- Share our full legal name (Maryland SPCA, Inc.), address (3300 Falls Road, Baltimore, MD, 21211), tax id or EIN (52-6001558), and brokerage account number (76698099).
- Let the MD SPCA know your gift is coming. Without identifying information—for example, the type of stock and number shares–we won’t be able to credit and acknowledge you. Financial institutions won’t divulge donor information.
IRA rollovers
If you’re age 70.5 or older and receive a required minimum distribution (RMD), you may be eligible to avoid paying taxes by rolling over those dollars to the MD SPCA.
- Consult with your financial or tax advisor to make sure you’re eligible.
- Contact your IRA vendor directly about rolling all or part of RMD over as a qualified charitable distribution.
- Most IRAs have clear processes in place for distributing a rollover directly to charities like the MD SPCA.
