Gifts of Stock

Donating stock that has been held for more than one year can be a tax-effective way to make a gift to the Institute. U.S. taxpayers who itemize their deductions will usually be able to deduct the full market value of securities on the day they are transferred. You pay no capital gains, the tax deduction can be used toward your adjusted gross income and it can be carried over for use in a future tax year.
