A gift of stock or mutual funds is often a great way to meet your charitable giving goals as well as maximize tax savings. There are many advantages to giving gifts of both appreciated stock, as well as depreciated stock. Consult with your financial advisor about the possibilities. Some things to think about though:

• Donating appreciated shares allow you to receive a full tax deduction for the fair market value of your gift and avoid capital gains taxes on the profit.
• When donating depreciated stock, by selling the stock prior to making the charitable donation, you are able to take a loss deduction as well as claim a charitable deduction.
• Making a gift through stock or mutual funds is easy!
  

If you would like to make a gift of appreciated securities, you will need to provide your broker with the following information:
