Giving appreciated stocks, bonds, and mutual funds provides even greater tax benefits than giving cash. They may provide a double benefit to you, such as avoiding capital gains taxes and an income tax deduction equal to the fair market value.

1. Let us know that you are making a gift of securities by completing our stock gift form OR by contacting Lisa Sabia at 203 254-4000, ext. 2765 or lsabia@fairfield.edu.
