Charitable Giving Tip of the Day

You don't have to use cash to make a gift!

You can give us appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares instead. Your charitable deduction will be the full, fair market value of the securities, with no capital gains liability on their appreciation.

Buy low and give high, and use a gift asset that cost you less than the tax deduction you'll get for it today.
