Donate Stock

A gift of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economic way to give. You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift for up to 30% of your adjusted gross income and will not have to recognize the appreciation as capital gain.

To facilitate your gift of securities, you or the transferring broker should please provide us:

• Donor’s name and complete address
• Name and number of securities to be transferred

You may use our faxable or mailable securities gift notification form, provide a letter, or send an e-mail to:
