Gifts of Stock

A gift of stock is a great way to support the Delmarva Discovery Center. If you have stock that has appreciated greatly in value you may consider giving securities as a year- end gift to the Discovery Center.

Giving long-term appreciated stock offers you a two-fold tax saving. First, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increased value of your stock. Second, you receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of your gift to the Discovery Center. For income tax purposes the value of a gift of stock may be deducted up to 30% of your adjusted gross income with a additional five-year carry forward of any balance.

Making a gift of stock to the Delmarva Discovery Center is easy. Just inform your broker of your intention to make a gift, have him or her give us a call, and we will handle the rest!

For more information or to make a gift of stock, call Delmarva Discovery Center, Brian Garrett, 410-957-9933,  or e-mail bgarrett@delmarvadiscoverycenter.org.
