Transfer a Gift of Stock

A gift of stock to the Freeport Conservation Trust can reduce your tax burden and make a big difference every day protecting and caring for the natural beauty of Freeport. Gifts of stock make a big impact and typically carry benefits not associated with gifts made by check, cash, or credit card. Donors can choose to make their gifts with appreciated publicly traded securities and potentially save income and capital gains tax. By gifting FCT appreciated securities that you have owned for more than a year and a day, you receive an available charitable deduction for the full value of the gift. This is a big impact and win-win as neither you nor FCT will have to pay the capital gains tax.
