gifts of stock

Giving securities (appreciated stocks and bonds) is an easy and tax-wise way to show your support for Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E.

Securities are among the most popular assets used in making charitable donations today, especially since selling these assets often incurs capital gains taxes. Consider making a cost-effective gift to the A.R.E. by donating your appreciated securities.

 

Benefits include:

  • a charitable tax deduction equal to the full fair market value of the securities at the time of your gift
  • avoidance of the capital gains tax on the increase in value
  • reduction of the cost of making a gift, when a long- or mid-term appreciated stock gift is made
  • donating securities is easy

2. Contact us to ensure efficient processing and acknowledgement of your gift. If you don’t contact us, we will not know who donated the stock when it is received! Please let us know how you want your gift to be used, the identity of the stock you are transferring and the number of shares. Please do not rely on your broker or wire transfer service to provide us with this information.
