Gifts of Securities
Appreciated securities* can make an excellent gift. Donors who give securities that have been held long term can realize two benefits: you receive a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities, and, at the same time, avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciated assets.
Please note: The securities must be given to Center for Safety & Change; if you sell the securities and donate the proceeds, you will not realize these same tax benefits.
For instructions on making a gift of securities, please contact or have your broker contact:
