Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Call (717)591-3500

What is a gift of appreciated securities?
This is typically called a stock gift. A stock gift is a gift of securities that has appreciated in value. These securities could be publicly traded stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares. Once you transfer the securities, they are sold and China Outreach Ministries (COM) uses the proceeds to fund ministry priorities.

What are the benefits of this type of gift?
This is a smart and simple way to help support the ministry. You may be able to make a bigger impact through a stock gift than through a cash gift alone. You receive credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the donation. You also may avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciated security. Sounds like a win-win situation.
