Gifts of Appreciated Stocks 

Gifts of appreciated stock can be a tax-efficient way to give because you avoid paying capital gains tax on the gain but still get to deduct the full, current value of the stock.  Please contact Ray Steed at steedray@gmail.com if you are interested in donating appreciated stocks.
