ways of giving : gifts of stock

A gift of appreciated securities is a common way to make a contribution. You can often take a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities as of the date of transfer and avoid capital gains associated with the sale. MECA can accept stock electronically through your broker or in certificate form. You or your broker may call our office at 207.775.5098 for further information.
