Gifts of Stocks and Securities
Unique Benefits of This Gift Type
Gifts of stocks or securities often confer significant tax benefits on a donor. For example, contributions of appreciated stocks or securities held for over a year are generally deductible at market value, regardless of what the donor paid for them. Moreover, the capital gains tax is avoided through such a gift. Ask your financial consultant about the advantages that a gift of stocks or securities can afford you in your particular situation.
