A gift of Appreciated Securities allows you not only to receive an income tax deduction of the full appreciated value of your securities, but may also save you from paying any capital gains tax. If you had a choice of donating equal amounts of appreciated securities versus cash, it may be financially more rewarding for you to make a gift of securities.

BAPS Charities has made the gifting of securities as easy as donating cash. By completing a simple form, you can gift your securities to BAPS Charities. You may even specify the exact date on which to transfer to BAPS Charities to take advantage of market fluctuations. And in addition, you will not have to pay any transaction costs.

With a securities gift, the reward is a potentially bigger tax benefit.
