Gifts of Stock or Other Appreciated Security
In most cases, gifts of appreciated stock offer distinct advantages for the donor as well as the School. Depending on your tax situation, gifts of appreciated stock donated directly to Trinity can potentially be deducted at the full fair market value of the stock, thereby avoiding the payment of capital gains tax. On receipt of the stock, the School will sell it and derive the benefit of the stock's full value. Please consult with your tax advisor about your particular situation.
Arrangements for the electronic transfer of stock can be made through our broker:
