Gifts of Securities

Using appreciated securities (stocks and bonds) is a popular method of making a gift to Caldwell. A gift of appreciated securities provides a double tax savings. You may deduct the average of the high /low value of the securities on the date of the gift and avoid capital gains on the appreciation.

A gift of appreciated securities, held for more than one year, entitles you to a charitable income tax deduction in the year you complete the gift. You may use the deduction to offset up to 30% of your adjusted gross income. Any deduction exceeding the 30% limit is carried forward for up to five additional years.

Planned Giving

You may also support Caldwell Academy through your will or estate plan. Gifts made through your will or living trust can provide considerable future tax benefits which allow more of your assets to pass to those you care about.
