Stock Gifts
You don't have to write a check to make a gift. In fact, contributing gifts of publicly-traded stock or securities could be more beneficial to you than giving cash. Four reasons to donate stock:
- Avoid capital gains tax: 15-30% you'd pay if you sold the stock.
- Get a bigger tax deduction by making a pre-tax contribution.
- The money you would have paid to the IRS supports the Museum.
- It's easy to do!
