Gifts of Securities

Gifts of Stock
Stocks and publicly traded securities are easy to give and offer great tax advantages. You can transfer the stock to us electronically through your broker or mail to us the stock certificate and a signed stock power for each certificate. To protect against possible fraud, the certificates and the stock powers should be mailed separately.

The best stocks to use for charitable giving are those that have increased greatly in value, particularly those producing a low yield. Even if it is stock you wish to keep in your portfolio, by giving us the stock and using cash to buy the same stock through your broker, you will have received the same income tax deduction but will have a new, higher basis in the stock.

Appreciated Securities: Property that has risen in value and that you have held for more than one year should be transferred directly to the University. You pay no capital gains on this transaction and you can deduct the full fair market value, which is calculated using the average of the high and the low share price on the date of the gift.

Depreciated Securities: If you have stock losses, you should sell the stock yourself to realize the loss and take the deduction for tax purposes. Then you can generate a charitable contribution by donating the cash proceeds of the sale to the University.
