Overflow is a digital solution for donating non-cash assets, enabling donors to give in a tax-efficient way. Donors can experience the ease of giving via stock or crypto in less than five minutes from their mobile devices. Overflow also gives givers access to a private Donor Portal, enabling visibility into transaction history, transaction statuses, and the ability to update connected financial accounts.

Overflow's Information Security Program is SOC 2 compliant–a widely respected information security auditing procedure. Overflow does not have access to or store any brokerage account usernames or passwords. They use Yodlee, a third-party provider that handles the brokerage login process. Over 600 companies, including PayPal, Mint, and Amazon, use Yodlee to connect their clients’ accounts.

Donating appreciated stock that you've held for over a year could allow you to save up to 20% in capital gains taxes and potentially up to 37% in federal income taxes on the charitable donation value of your gift based on your tax bracket when itemizing deductions. To understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, including potential state tax savings, please consult your tax professional for information about your tax implications.

You can give any publicly traded stock through Overflow. By donating assets that have appreciated in value for more than one year, you are more likely to maximize the potential tax benefits.

Overflow can process all whole shares of publicly traded stock, including 401Ks and IRAs. However, because donors often incur penalties for withdrawing these assets before a certain date, we highly recommend consulting your tax professional before donating these types of assets. Donating 401Ks or IRAs could result in significant tax penalties or even fewer tax benefits than donating cash.

If you received company-distributed stock as an employee and the trading window is not open, your brokerage will likely reject the transfer request. We highly advise you to ask your company for the trading windows and give during those periods, which are typically open quarterly for 3 to 4 weeks at a time.
