Instructions for Making Gifts of Stock and Other
Securities
Thank you for your interest in Help
Inc. Foundation's securities giving services. Our team
prides itself on providing the highest standard of service to the
donor who wishes to make a special gift to Help Inc.
Foundation.
Gifts of Securities that have appreciated
in value since their purchase are particularly attractive under
current tax laws for the following
reasons:
• You avoid
all capital gains tax when you contribute long-term appreciated
securities to Help Inc. Foundation
• You receive a charitable income
tax deduction equal to the fair-market value of the securities if
they have been held longer
than one year
• The fair market value of the
assets can be deducted up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross
income and any excess
deductions can be carried forward five
additional tax years
Here are some important tips for
ensuring that your gift is received and processed according to your
wishes:
• Please
notify Help Inc. Foundation when you are prepared
to make your gift. Let us know what stock you are sending,
when you expect the gift to
be made and if there is a particular program you wish to benefit.
You must notify Help Inc.
Foundation to ensure a proper tax
receipt.
