GIFTING OF APPRECIATED SECURITIES A charitable contribution of long-term appreciated securities (i.e., stocks, bonds and/or mutual funds that have realized significant appreciation over time) is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. The two key advantages: • Any long-term appreciated securities with unrealized gains may be donated to a charity and a tax deduction taken for the full fair market value of the securities. • Since the securities are donated rather than sold, there is no capital gains tax due. The more appreciation the securities have, the greater the tax savings will be. Questions? Ask Bill Hickey, director of gift planning, at 320-363-5480 or whickey@csbsju.edu.
