Stock or Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities offer tax benefits including the elimination of capital gains on the appreciated portion of stock gifts.
To donate a gift of securities, please contact Sonja Shivpuri at 610-228-0445 x124 or sshivpuri@gladwyne.org to notify us of your intent to transfer. Please include the name of the stock, the number of shares you will be gifting, and when the stock will be transferred. Because electronically transferred gifts often do not indicate the owner of the assets, stocks sent without advance notice can be difficult to match to the donor(s).

In accordance with IRS guidelines, the date of the gift will be the date on which Gladwyne Montessori assumes ownership of the shares. For crediting purposes, the value is determined as the average of the high and low price on the gift date. In the case of unlisted securities, the value of the gift must be determined through an independent appraisal provided by the donor.
