Gifts of Stock

Donors can contribute to Hackley through gifts of appreciated stock.

Giving stock offers a tax-saving benefit in that you avoid paying any capital gains tax on the increase in value of your security. It is important to note that to receive the tax benefit, the donor should not personally sell the security, but transfer it directly to Hackley’s account for the School to sell.

For example:

You purchase 10 shares of XXX at $20 for a total value of $200 and own the shares for more than a year.
The XXX share price increases to $100, bringing the total value of your investment to $1,000.
If you donate the 10 shares of XXX directly to Hackley, you receive the same $1,000 deduction but will not pay the capital gains tax.
