Appreciated Securities / Stock

Fontbonne Hall gratefully accepts gifts of appreciated securities. By giving securities, you can maximize the size of your charitable gifts, conserve cash you would have given, and enjoy multiple tax benefits.

Your charitable tax deduction is based on the appreciated value of your stock as long as you have held the stock for at least 12 months and one day. In addition, you pay no capital gains tax on gifts of stock to White Plains Hospital. A gift of closely held stock will give you the same advantages.
