Gifts of Stock
Gifts of stock can have an immediate benefit for AMIGOS’ youth leadership and community development programs. It is usually most beneficial to give appreciated securities, since you bypass any capital gains tax due had you sold them. You can also receive a charitable deduction for their fair market value.
If the securities are being held at your brokerage firm, you may instruct your broker to have them wire transferred to AMIGOS. Please contact us to request a Notification of Transfer form when your broker makes the transfer, so we can ensure the securities have been received.
