Stock Gifts

Stock Gifts

Gifts of appreciated securities are a cost-effective and tax-friendly way to fund research. By donating shares of stock, supporters can minimize their tax liability, get a tax deduction of the fair-market value of the stock and avoid capital gains taxes on portfolio growth — all while helping support promising research that might otherwise go unfunded.
