Gifts of Stock

Appreciated Securities

Did you know you can transfer publicly traded securities that you have owned for more than one year to Sutton Avian Research Center? You can! The securities are sold, and the proceeds are applied to the charitable purpose(s) that you designate. You can then claim an income tax charitable deduction based on the market value of the securities and also avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation. 

This plan is geared towards those who hold highly appreciated securities for a number of years or those who do not plan on selling the financial securities.
