Did you know Solana Center also accepts securities as donations? Securities are stocks, bonds, or mutual funds registered on a recognized security exchange (e.g., New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ) When you donate a security, the fair market value of the security is tax-deductible as a charitable contribution. The IRS dictates that the fair market value is calculated as the average of the highest and lowest quoted selling prices for that security on the date it is donated. Learn more here.
