Gifts of Stocks or Mutual Funds

Using appreciated stock or mutual funds is a tax-wise way to fund your gift to WHYY. Outright gifts of appreciated securities held longer than one year are exempt from capital gains taxes and are deductible at the fair market value at the time of transfer. To avoid exposure to capital gain tax, the stock must be transferred to WHYY. We then sell the stock from our account.
