Can you put appreciated stock in a charitable gift annuity?

Yes, you can contribute appreciated stock to a charitable gift annuity (CGA). Donating appreciated stock can provide tax benefits, as you may avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation while receiving a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the stock. This can enhance the financial benefits of the annuity, providing a steady income stream while supporting a charitable cause. Always consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to understand the specific implications for your situation.
