How do i report income on ESPP stock donated to charity (the discounted portion)? Where would I report it on my return? What form? Income or deductions?

I donated ESPP stock to my church. I need to report the 15% discount on the FMV at the time of purchase as ordinary income. I need to know where and how to report that in my return. Would I report it in the investment sale area? Dividend and Interest Income? Some sort of other compensation? Maybe in the area where I entered my W-2? Or, would I report it somehow in my deductions?
