In addition to outright gifts of cash, gifts of stocks, bonds, stock options, and shares of mutual funds are encouraged. These gifts are highly beneficial because you, as the donor, are entitled to a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock in the year of the gift. Gifts of appreciated stocks are increasingly common and attractive since the donor will generally not incur capital gains on tax on the stock give to the College of Education through the UGA Foundation.
To make a gift of appreciated stock or other marketable securities, please visit this page or contact Aldon Knight for more information at aknight@uga.edu or 706-542-2267.
