How to Donate Stock to Support the Growth of Fencing

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — What if every time the stock market took a positive turn, fencing scored another point? he U.S. Fencing Foundation has partnered with DonateStock to make giving appreciated stock simple, secure, and fast.

Gifts of long‑term appreciated stock may let donors avoid capital gains taxes and claim a charitable deduction — often enabling a bigger impact at the same out‑of‑pocket cost. (Be sure to consult your tax advisor about your specific situation.)

“This partnership makes it easier for our community to support the fencing programs they care about most,” says Phil Andrews, USA Fencing CEO. “Whether your priority is developing athletes, expanding parafencing, or strengthening clubs and officials, stock gifts give supporters another way to make a real impact.”

“By adding DonateStock as a giving option, we’re making the donation process more seamless for our supporters, ensuring that gifts create faster impact for our athletes and coaches,” says Meghan DeFord, Director of Development and Executive Director of the U.S. Fencing Foundation. “DonateStock handles the secure transfer with your broker, notifies USFF, and helps ensure you receive a timely charitable receipt. It’s a win-win.”
