A donor who owns appreciated securities can benefit in two ways by making a gift of securities to Regina Dominican. First, they will be able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for the full value of the shares, and second, they will be able to avoid the capital gains tax that would have been due if they sold the shares. When making a gift of securities, it is important that you arrange for a direct transfer of your securities to Regina Dominican and not sell them yourself. Contact the Regina Dominican Advancement Office for additional information.
