Give Stocks or Bonds
A charitable contribution of long-term appreciated securities — i.e. stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have realized significant appreciation over time — is one of the most tax-efficient of all ways to give and can now be done directly on our site by clicking here.
If you’ve held an appreciated stock or mutual fund for more than one year, you can donate those securities to Truthout and receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities, eliminating any capital gains assessments on the future sale of the securities (in some cases, more than 20%).

Non-Monetary Assistance
You can help by recommending Truthout to your friends and colleagues, forwarding them articles, and sharing our stories on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
