Appreciated Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities—stocks and bonds, including stocks in closely held companies—provide important tax advantages to the donor. The full fair market value of the donated appreciated securities is fully deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes. Unused deduction amounts exceeding this limit can be carried forward for up to five more years. In addition, the donor does not pay federal capital gain tax on the appreciated portion of the gift.
