Creative Giving

stock gifts

Donating stock and mutual funds is a great way to make a significant contribution while avoiding the capital gains tax.

It is imperative that you notify GBSC of your gift prior to transferring the gift.

Donating this way offers two tax savings benefits:

  1. You can take a charitable deduction for the full current value of the securities.
  2. You avoid paying the capital gains tax that would be due if the securities were sold.

in-kind gifts

In-kind gifts are donated goods and services (i.e. provided at no cost to GBSC).

All in-kind gifts must be approved by the Advancement Office. If approved, we will issue a letter and receipt to acknowledge your gift.

We do not provide gift valuation. In accordance with IRS regulations, the donor is responsible for determining the value of an accepted gift.

If you want to claim an income tax deduction for an in-kind gift of more than $5,000, the IRS requires that you complete IRS Form 8283 and obtain a fair market value appraisal.
