Gifts of Securities

Tax Advantages
Giving appreciated securities is a convenient way to support the Mount while gaining tax advantages.
You receive an income tax deduction for the full market value on the date of the gift, provided you have owned the securities for more than 12 months.
Most donors avoid capital-gains tax otherwise due on the sale of the securities.
