Same gift, better deduction

We've told you that a donation using appreciated securities produces a charitable deduction in the amount of the full, fair market value of the stock, with no liability for capital gains — a great tax benefit!

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION

How It Works

  You transfer securities you have owned for one year or more to KCET.

  KCET sells your securities and uses the proceeds for its programs.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income-tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them.
  • You pay no capital gains tax on the securities you donate.
  • You can direct your gift to a specific fund or purpose.
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now or funding a life-income gift that benefits KCET later.
