Gifts of Stock

The end of the year is often a time to review stock portfolios. Stock that has appreciated significantly over the years makes an ideal charitable contribution to qualified 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.

Donations to the American Chesapeake Club Charitable Trust can qualify for this treatment. Rather than pay capital gains on appreciated stock, donors of stock to the Trust can receive a charitable contribution for the value of the stock on the day it is transferred as a donation. The value is determined by averaging the high and low price of the stock on the day of transfer. In order for donations to be declared in the current year, the transfer must be made before December 31 of that year.
