A Gift of Appreciated Securities

lourdes1A popular way to make a charitable gift and avoid capital gains tax is through a gift of appreciated securities, such as stocks or bonds.  The IRS allows you to deduct the fair market value of the stock or bond as a charitable donation and avoid capital gains tax on the transfer.  This benefit means that you can leverage a larger donation by using appreciated securities rather than cash to make your gift.  Your personal financial planner and tax advisor can help you in this area.
