When you donate long-term appreciated securities (stocks and bonds) to the Foundation of Special Care, you are allowed a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the stock; additionally you may avoid a potential capital gains tax on any appreciation in the value of the stock. Giving stock gifts to the Foundation of Special Care can be accomplished either by electronic transfer, mail, or in person.
