Yes, if the property has appreciated in value since you acquired it
A gift of appreciated property offers two significant benefits to the
donor:

1. Assuming the property is transferred to the charity (rather than sold
and the cash proceeds contributed), the donor avoids including the
appreciation in the donor’s taxable income

2. The donor is allowed to claim the value of the property as a deduction,even though the donor never paid income tax on the appreciation

Note: Virginia does not allow a state deduction against income for charitable contributions
3. A contribution of appreciated property removes the appreciation from the donor’s taxable estate

Note: Virginia does not impose a state estate tax
Consider this example:

John’s current year taxable income for the current year is $510,000
before taking into consideration a planned gift of stock valued at
$50,000. John’s tax on $510,000 of taxable income is $148,713.*

If we assume that John purchased the stock for $20,000, here is the
consequence to John if he sells the stock and contributes the $50,000
cash proceeds:

Value of the Stock: $ 50,000
Less: Cost Basis of the Stock (20,000)
Taxable Gain on Sale 30,000
Plus: Other Taxable Income 510,000
Total Taxable Income Before Charitable Deduction 540,000
Less: Deduction of contribution of Cash (50,000)
Total Taxable Income $490,000
Tax on Total Taxable Income* $135,153

*Assumes married filing joint, plus a tax rate on ordinary income = 39.6%; tax rate on
gain = 20% long-term capital gain tax rate plus 3.8% net investment income tax rate

However, were John to contribute the stock in-kind, the result would be:

Total Taxable Income Before Charitable Deduction $510,000
Less: Deduction of contribution of Stock (50,000)
Total Taxable Income $460,000

Tax on Total Taxable Income* $128,913

The result is that John saves $6,240 in additional tax by contributing
the stock instead of selling the stock and contributing the proceeds.
