Maximize Your Impact with a Stock Donation
Transform your appreciated investments into educational opportunities while enjoying significant tax benefits. A gift of stock or mutual funds can be one of the smartest ways to support San Francisco students on their path to college and career success.
A Smart Way to Give
When you donate appreciated securities you’ve owned for more than one year, you can:
- Avoid capital gains tax that would be due if you sold the securities
- Receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value when you itemize
- Make a larger gift at no additional cost to you
- Create immediate impact for students in our programs

The Impact of Your Gift
Your stock donation helps provide essential college access programs, academic support, and family engagement services to under-resourced students across San Francisco. By giving in this tax-efficient way, you’re helping create educational equity while managing your own tax situation effectively.
Mission Graduates students are over 2x more likely to meet or exceed grade-level literacy expectations than students not in MG.
100% of this year’s College Connect seniors and 88% of John O’Connell seniors are attending a 2 or 4-year school this fall, compared to 62% in California overall.
100% of College Connect parents report that the program taught them how to help their child apply to college, and 90% say it taught them to prepare their child for the college transition.
