Donate Stock to NVHS
Why Donate Stock?
Donating stock is a powerful way to support our mission of eliminating homelessness among veterans in Central Florida. With over 60% of Americans owning stock and billions in stock donated to U.S. charities every year, stock donations can make a wide-reaching impact through philanthropy. Studies show that nonprofits that accept noncash assets typically grow 50% faster than those that do not, and they grow 66% faster when they accept noncash securities such as stock. Donating stock is also one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them.

Tax Benefits
Stock donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your stock donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. Be sure to consult with a qualified tax advisor for more information on how to claim these benefits.
Our Impact
Your stock donations have already made a significant difference. In 2023, NVHS made significant strides in assisting veterans and their families, with a 36% increase in total clients assisted compared to 2022. We supported 353 veterans and 191 of their family members through our Search and Rescue Program and Transitional Housing Program. Additionally, our efforts helped reduce the homeless veteran population in Brevard County by 90%, from 1,800 in 2008 to less than 200 in 2024. These donations help fund essential services like street outreach to find homeless veterans, preventing evictions through case management and financial assistance, and providing transitional housing. We also educate the public on Post Traumatic Stress and provide creative therapy events for our veterans, including arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and holiday-based activities to help reduce stress and foster a sense of belonging.
