- The total value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible
- You will avoid all capital gains taxes on the appreciated securities donated
To contribute stocks or other publicly traded securities see our 2-step instructions below. If you have questions or need additional information please contact Paul Westhelle at 541-552-6301.

If you are interested in making a gift of mutual funds not held in a brokerage account or if your stock is in the form of a physical certificate please contact Paul Westhelle at 541-552-6301 since these types of donations may require different processing procedures.
