BWH welcomes contributions of appreciated securities, such as stocks, bonds and mutual fund shares. You can generally deduct the fair market value of the securities, up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income, and avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation. Credit is given for the mean value of the high and low prices of the stock on the date of transfer.
If you wish to make a gift of securities, please call (or have your broker call) the Development Office at (617) 424-4300 for instructions on making the transfer.
