Gifts of Stocks or Securities

Gifts of publicly traded securities that have appreciated in value allow you to claim a charitable deduction for the full market value of the securities on the date the gift is made. You pay no capital gains tax on the appreciation and Maryland Center for History and Culture receives the full value of the gift.
