Gifts of Securities or Mutual Funds

Gifts of appreciated securities often confer significant tax benefits for the donor. For example, contributions of securities held for over a year are generally deductible at market value, regardless of what the donor paid for the securities. In addition, the donor avoids paying any capital gains tax.

When making a gift of securities to Alfred State, please contact the Institutional Advancement Office. It is extremely important to have complete donor information, the name and type of securities to be gifted, the number of shares, and the date you intend to make a gift.

Use Blackbaud's matching gift database [15] to see if your employer has a matching gift program. (Enter your employer's name in the box and then click on the search button.)
