I would like to make a Stock and Securities gift?

Giving long-term appreciated securities provides two income tax benefits: no tax is imposed on the appreciated portion of the gift (long term capital gains), and the donor will receive a charitable deduction based on the stock's fair market value. Because the donor can avoid the capital gains tax, it is usually more advantageous to contribute appreciated securities directly to Search and Care rather than selling securities and donating the proceeds of the sale.
