Gifts of
Stock

There are some key advantages to giving a gift of stock. If you've held the security for more than 12 months, you'll be entitled to a tax deduction (both state and federal) at the fair market value and you don't pay capital gains tax.

Our minimum gift to transfer is $1,000. Please notify us of your intention to transfer stock and we will let you know as soon as it is received.
