Give a gift of stocks or securities
Gifts of appreciated stocks offer donors unique advantages over cash-based gifts. In addition to receiving a tax-deduction for the gift, donors may also avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciated value of the securities. Gifts of securities also provide donors an increased capacity to give.

If the stock is in a brokerage or bank trust account:
Donors should instruct their stock broker/banker by telephone and follow up with a letter to have the stock electronically transferred to the Quinlan account. Our broker's contact information is:

If the stock gift is in the form of a stock certificate registered in your name, send the stock certificate(s) plus a signed stock power to the above address. The donor's signature must be notarized or guaranteed by a bank officer or stockbroker. Please mail the stock power under separate cover. In case of loss or theft, the stock cannot be transferred without both documents.

Deductibility of stock-based gifts
For tax purposes, the gift is valued at the average of the high and low price on the day the shares are transferred to the Quinlan Visual Arts Center. Please retain the transfer statement you receive from your broker as well as the gift acknowledgement letter you receive from the Quinlan Visual Arts Center. Your personal tax advisor will need these in order to calculate your deduction and process your return.
