Gifts of Appreciated Securities
(Gift illustration)

How it works

You transfer securities to MDA.

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

Benefits

• You qualify for 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 must itemize on your tax return to claim the deduction.
• You pay no capital gains tax on the appreciation in 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 MDA later.
