Gifts of appreciated stocks and securities are an excellent way to support the Cancer Wellness Center. Giving a gift of publicly traded stock that has increased in value and that you have owned for more than one year may provide greater tax benefits than giving cash. Your charitable income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the stock and you avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock. You may also save by not incurring brokerage fees because you are transferring ownership rather than selling the stock.

To receive the account information you will need to give to your broker and to ensure your gift will be promptly acknowledged and to receive a tax receipt, please contact Nancy Bulzoni, Executive Director at 847-509-9595
