Gifts of Securities

If you have property, such as stocks and mutual funds, that is worth more than you paid for it and it has been owned for more than a year, you can generally enjoy greater tax savings from giving that property than from giving an equivalent amount of cash. That’s because a gift of such property lets you bypass capital gains tax that could be due if you sold the asset. You are also entitled to a charitable income tax deduction based on the property’s current value, including any “paper profit”.

Please consider transferring appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares that you have owned for more than one year to Auburn Classical Academy, it is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.

You will receive an immediate income tax deduction for the value of the securities on the date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them, and you will pay no capital gains tax. For example, if you bought shares of stock years ago for $1,000 that are now worth $10,000, Auburn Classical Academy will enjoy the tremendous benefit of a $10,000 donation. You will have no capital gains tax liability for the donated shares, and you may be able to claim a charitable deduction on your tax return! Your original $1,000 investment does so much good, while keeping your money out of the hands of the IRS.
