Stocks and Securities
Securities and mutual funds that have increased in value and been held for more than one year are one of the most popular assets to use when making a gift to GPLHS. Making a gift of securities or mutual funds to us offers you the chance to support our work while realizing important benefits for yourself.

When you donate appreciated securities or mutual funds you have held more than one year to us in support of our mission, you can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. You may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of the transfer.

Securities are most often used to support our work in the form of:

1. An outright gift
2. A transfer on death (TOD) account
3. A gift in your will or living trust
4. A donor advised fund (DAF)
5. A memorial gift
6. An endowed gift
7. A charitable gift annuity (CGA)
8. A charitable remainder trust (CRT)
