To make a stock donation, please contact Peter Mockary, Controller, at Peter.Mockary@lacity.org or (213) 978-0801. Peter will provide the information needed to transfer the stock to LA’s BEST. It’s quick and easy!
Donating stock directly to LA’s BEST is one of the most tax-smart ways to give. By donating stock that has appreciated in value, that you have held for more than a year, you are entitled to an income tax deduction for the full value of the stock (i.e. there is no income tax on the sale of the stock).

Charitable Planned Giving is easy to set-up and helps maximize your charitable giving. Charitable Planned Giving can include a charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder trust, retained life estate and a bequest. Charitable Planned Giving allows you to enjoy charitable benefits now and secures your legacy. Thank you for considering LA’s BEST in your philanthropic planning.
