Securities Making a gift of stock to Pine Point benefits both the School and the donor. If you sell appreciated stock you are likely to incur capital gains. However, when you give the stock to Pine Point you avoid capital gains tax and you receive a charitable income tax deduction based on the stock's fair market value (mean value) at the time of its transfer to Pine Point. (Securities must be held for at least one year to secure the full tax benefits of a stock gift.) In order to avoid capital gains, however, you must first transfer ownership of the stock to Pine Point. In all cases, you should consult your financial adviser.
The date of a gift of stock is determined by the date on which it enters Pine Point's account at Professional Planning Group. Even in this day of electronic transfers gifts of stock have been known to take several days to reach their destination. This can be particularly problematic when you're trying to make a gift of stock at year-end.
Those seeking to make a gift of stock or have questions on this subject can contact Director of Development David Hannon, 860-535-0606, x132 or Pine Point's financial adviser at Professional Planning Group: Christopher G. Wallace, CFA, 401-596-2800, 866-205-3090, cWallace@PPGadvisors.com.
