Donating appreciated securities is a great way to support CSPI

Making a gift to CSPI in the form of appreciated securities is a great way to support nutrition and public health while also possibly paying less in income taxes. We recommend that you consult a tax professional with any specific questions. Please note that it is CSPI's policy to sell all donations of stock upon receipt.
