SECURITIES

A popular alternative to cash is the gift of appreciated securities. Generally, in addition to receiving an income-tax deduction for the full, fair market value of the stock, the donor avoids any potential tax on the capital gain of the securities.

To qualify for most of the above-mentioned tax benefits, the securities must have been held for more than one year.

To make a gift of appreciated securities, please call Foundation at (202) 537-4257 for transfer instructions.

For more information on ways to make a gift to Sibley, please contact the Foundation at (202) 537-4257 or email Audry Carter: acarter@sibley.org or Dulcy Hooper: dhooper@sibley.org.
