Gifts of Stock or Securities
Transferring stock or securities is an excellent way to support the life-saving mission of Howard Brown Health, and provides significant benefits such as:
- A charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the gifted long-term securities.
- Elimination of capital gains tax that would ordinarily become due if you sell the appreciated securities on the open market and donated the proceeds of the sale to Howard Brown Health Center.
