A Powerful Way to Give

When you make a gift of appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual funds to Friends of Bonobos, you will have an immediate impact on the lives of the bonobos at Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary. You will also ensure the protection of rewilded bonobos and their habitat at Ekolo ya Bonobo Community Reserve.

Stock Gifts Save Taxes

Making a gift of your appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds to Friends of Bonobos also saves you money on taxes.

You avoid paying capital gains tax and may also be eligible for a charitable income tax deduction.

​Here’s an example of how you and the bonobos benefit from your gift of an appreciated asset.* When you give an appreciated asset valued at $100,000 with a tax basis of $50,000, you will avoid $7,500** in capital gains tax and may receive a tax deduction totaling $24,000*** for your charitable gift. 

*Figures may vary based on the income tax laws in your state.

**Calculation is based on a 15% long-term capital gains tax rate.

***Calculation is based on a 24% federal income tax bracket.

​As always, we recommend that you consult your tax or financial professional for advice before making charitable donations.
