Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Giving appreciated stock or mutual funds to Pine Manor College is more tax advantageous than giving cash. If you give appreciated securities held longer than one year, you can deduct the full fair market value of the securities, regardless of what you originally paid for them. And you pay no capital gains tax on the securities donated. With these tax savings, the actual cost of your gift is less than if you had made a cash gift.
The date of your gift for valuation purposes is the date on which the securities actually pass from your control, regardless of when you instructed your broker to transfer them. The amount of your gift for gift crediting purposes will be the mean market value of the high and the low per share price of each security on the date of transfer.
