DonateStocks & Securities
Donating stock is one simple way you can give a powerful gift to the Garden while avoiding the capital gains tax. And, there are major advantages in donating appreciated securities instead of a cash gift. When you donate stock to the Garden, you will not pay capital gains tax on the gain and, generally, you receive a tax deduction for the full value on the day it was donated.
