Donating long-term appreciated securities directly to the Center is one of the best and easiest ways to give more. By taking advantage of tax incentives, you can significantly increase the funds available for charitable giving.
Any securities held for over a year with unrealized gains can be donated at full fair market value (up to 30% of your adjusted gross income).
Since securities are donated rather than sold, capital gains taxes no longer apply. The more appreciation, the greater your tax savings.
