Donate Stock to the Identity Theft Resource Center
Making a donation to support the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) enables us to empower victims, prevent identity crimes and build a safer digital world for everyone.
Your gift helps fund free, trauma-informed support services for people impacted by identity theft, fraud, scams and other cybercrimes, along with the research, advocacy and tools that drive long-term change.
A gift of appreciated stock valued at $5,000 could provide personalized recovery support for 25 victims of identity crimes—guiding them through complex systems to restore their identity, rebuild trust and regain control of their lives.
Support the ITRC by making a charitable gift in stock. We accept donations in publicly traded, domestic common stocks.
Does the Identity Theft Resource Center accept stock?
Stock fundraising is a critical source of donation revenue for nonprofit organizations like the ITRC.
With more than 60 percent of Americans owning stock and billions in stock donated to U.S. charities each year, stock donations offer tremendous potential to power scalable, people-first impact.
Nonprofits that accept noncash assets grow 50 percent faster, and those that accept securities like stock grow 66 percent faster than those that do not.
Donating stock is also one of the most tax-efficient ways to support the causes that matter to you. We’re proud to offer this giving method to forward-thinking donors who want to fuel systemic solutions to identity crime.

Are stock donations tax-deductible?
Yes! Stock donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity.
If you pay taxes in the U.S., your donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Additionally, by donating appreciated stock, you may significantly reduce or eliminate the capital gains taxes you would otherwise owe if you sold the stock.
As with all tax-related decisions, we recommend consulting a qualified tax advisor.
