Giving to the Foundation: Ways to Give

Securities: Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds

A gift of publicly traded securities (stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares), if they have appreciated in value, can be better than a gift of cash. A gift of stock that has grown in value will provide support for Pellissippi State at the full market value and with no capital gains tax paid by the donor. Donors can take a charitable deduction on their federal income tax, as allowed by law, for the market value of the securities at the time of stock transfer.

For information on how to send your gift, please see Information for Attorneys and Brokers.

Prior approval is required before gifts of closely held stocks can be accepted. We are not able to accept gifts of restricted securities (see more information on closely held stocks and restricted securities).

To our donors: Your gift to the Pellissippi Foundation will impact your financial situation. This Web site does not provide legal or financial advice. Consult your attorney, tax adviser, and the Foundation before making or planning a gift.
