Outright gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, and mutual fund shares) are a popular way to support Reed and can offer special tax benefits for donors.
Appreciated securities
You can make a gift of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares to Reed for a tax-deductible gift at the full fair-market value if the shares have been owned for more than 12 months. You can also avoid capital gains taxes on the shares, but you must make a direct gift of the shares and not the proceeds of their sale. For more information or to explore your questions, contact Kathy Saitas, advancement counsel and senior director of gift planning at 503-777-7759.
