[Virtual] Founder Spotlight: Private Stock Donations for Innovators: Maximizing Tax Benefits & Philanthropic Impact

Learn how founders, early employees, and investors can benefit from donating private company stock ahead of an acquisition, secondary sale, tender offer, or IPO. In this session, we'll cover how donating appreciated shares to a donor-advised fund (DAF) can help avoid capital gains tax, qualify for a charitable tax deduction, and set aside more for philanthropy. We'll also walk through the process of donating private stock, key legal and timing considerations, and how a DAF allows you to invest charitable assets, support nonprofits over time, and maximize the impact of your giving. Hosted by Phil, a donor-advised fund platform designed for founders, early employees, and investors.
