Gift of Securities

                   
“I am hoping to go to college and eventually get a doctorate degree, and I owe it all to the Center for the skills to do this.”   
                                                
- Andrew Johnson

The tax advantages of gifts of securities – especially those that have appreciated significantly – are significant. Gifts of this type actually provide a double benefit. First, you receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair-market value of the property. Second, you avoid any capital gain tax you would pay if you sold the securities and donated the cash.

A third benefit is the satisfaction you receive from knowing that your good fortune is helping others learn to read and write, effectively giving them a chance at the success you have known.
