Gifts of Securities
By giving a gift of appreciated securities, you may avoid capital gains tax while enjoying an income tax deduction for the current fair market value of your gift. A gift of real estate yields a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the property and can help you avoid capital gains tax. For more information on non-cash gifts and instructions on how to transfer a gift of securities, contact Betsy Parker, Executive Director, at (608) 216-9507 or emailing betsyp@aldoleopoldnaturecenter.org.
