Donating Stock
Donating stock, bonds or mutual funds is a great way to make your gift have a meaningful impact and save taxes as well as receive a charitable deduction. Rather than sell your stock and face paying capital gains taxes, you can donate your stock to The Salvation Army, a tax-exempt charitable organization. This means that The Salvation Army will receive the full benefit of your gift and you won’t have to face extra charges come April. In addition, your gift is directed back to your local area to help those in need in your community.

Donating from your IRA account
Giving to The Salvation Army from your IRA account reduces your taxable earned income. This may be an important benefit if you no longer itemize your deductions or if you don't need your required minimum distribution.
When you are 70 ½ or older, you can distribute gifts to charity directly from your IRA without treating the distribution as taxable income. Gifts given in this way count toward the required IRA minimum withdrawal amounts in the year of the gift. Please note that IRA charitable distribution gifts qualify for subtraction from your gross income instead of an itemized deduction.
