Please review this link especially the paragraph entitled Appreciated Property. This link does a very good job of explaining your options in regard to the donated stock. As far as capital gains that the charity has calculated, that is not reported by you because there is no stock sale. Once they own the shares you donated, they would be responsible for reporting capital gains or losses since they now own the stock.
