Make a Gift of Stock

Making a gift of stocks, bonds or mutual funds to Hillel is easy and has special tax benefits. 

When contributing appreciated securities held for more than one year:

  • Hillel receives a gift equal to the market value of the securities.
  • You can take a charitable tax deduction equal to the market value of the securities.
  • You avoid paying any capital gains tax.
  • You remove the value of the securities from your taxable estate.

Making a gift of stock, bonds or mutual funds to Hillel is very simple, involving an electronic or paper transfer from your stockbroker or Mutual Fund Company to our account.
