Appreciated Securities

Securities with low-cost basis are tax efficient assets to the Gallery.

Advantages

• A charitable income-tax deduction is allowed for the full market value of the securities when they are given.
• Since there is no sale, no capital gains tax is due on the increase over your cost. Many of our donors use securities to make larger gifts because of this tax saving.

How do I make a gift of stock?

• Transfer securities directly to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery's broker.
• Mail or deliver a stock certificate to the Gallery with a stock power.

PLEASE NOTE: Please contact the Gallery's Director of Development who will arrange all paperwork or provide you and your advisors with instructions.
