Stocks and Securities

Making a gift of appreciated stock and other securities is easy. A transfer can be as simple as a phone call and a written confirmation. For tax purposes, your gift is considered complete on the day that you turn over control of the securities.

The value of the gift is its fair market value on that day, and you pay no tax on the capital gains. If the securities are traded daily on a recognized exchange, the value is the average between the high and low prices for that day.

  1. Inform your broker that you want to transfer shares to the Lane Community College Foundation. Be clear if you want the gift made before the end of the calendar year.
  2. Instruct your broker to use the following broker information:
