Saint Luke Institute is pleased to accept gifts of stock. These gifts can provide an additional tax benefit to you. A gift made with appreciated securities provides you with a charitable income tax deduction based on the securities' fair market value on the date of transfer and you do not incur a tax on unrealized capital gain—you avoid the capital gains tax that would have been due had you sold the securities yourself!
