Securities
Gifts of stocks and bonds are welcomed at the University of Tennessee;
however these gifts require special planning. Please contact the
CBA Development Office at (865)974-6083 for more information.
Gifts of appreciated securities typically carry
benefits not associated with gifts made by check, cash or credit
card:
- You avoid capital gains tax. Any gain is taxable if you sell
stock or mutual fund shares yourself, but not if you transfer
ownership to the University.
- Your charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes is
based on the full, fair market value of the shares on the date
the gift is made.
- You receive gift credit for the full fair market value of the
shares, but the cost to you is only your original purchase price.
Matching Gifts
Many companies provide matching gifts for their
employees as part of their employee benefit packages. If you plan
to make a gift, check with your employer to see if they participate
in a matching gift program. This is an easy way to enhance the impact
made by your gift.
