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.
