Outright gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, and mutual fund shares) are a popular way to support 麻豆国产AV and can offer special tax benefits for donors.
Appreciated securities
You can make a gift of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares to 麻豆国产AV 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.
