Gifts of Appreciated Securities
A gift of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds may be an effective way to support OIUF while potentially providing tax benefits. Depending on your circumstances, donating appreciated securities may allow you to avoid recognizing capital gains on the donated assets while receiving a charitable deduction, subject to applicable tax rules and limitations.
If you are considering a securities gift, please contact OIUF for transfer instructions before initiating the transfer.
