Gifts of Stock
Appreciated securities
Giving appreciated securities is a fast and easy way to make a
gift to Reinhardt and derive considerable tax benefits. It is
almost always a better strategy to give appreciated securities
directly to the College, rather than selling them and donating
the proceeds of the sale. In fact, many individuals find that
the tax benefits associated with giving to Reinhardt actually
allow them to increase the size of their gift.
Instructions for giving appreciated securities:
Donations of stock are valued at the
average of the high and low on the assets legal date of transfer
for Reinhardt's recognition purposes. Donors are
encouraged to contact their tax attorney or accountant when
determining the value they intend to deduct for tax purposes.
Reinhardt recognizes that due to
changes in the market, the value of the stock is subject to
increase or decrease from the time in which the stock is donated
to the time in which it is liquidated. Any gains or losses
from the original donation amount will be absorbed by the fund
for which the original donation was intended.
Securities that have lost value are
not usually considered for gift purposes. Please consult with
your tax attorney for more information.

engage in the selling of your personal information. Please refer
