Why Gifts of Appreciated Stock?
These gifts allow the donor to receive a charitable deduction for the full, fair-market value of the gift without being subject to capital gains tax on the appreciation. You may also participate with deferred gifts, including will or trust provisions, charitable trusts, and gift annuities. Staff members at Oberlin Shansi will work closely with donors and their legal and financial advisors to help them determine the most appropriate method of giving.

A gift of appreciated stock is a great way to donate to Oberlin Shansi. Your gift enhances opportunities for international engagement for Oberlin students and graduates, and you may realize substantial tax savings. This works best if you have owned the stock for at least one year and the stock has appreciated in value.

Your gift of appreciated stock will entitle you to a charitable deduction equal to the mean market value of the stock on the date of your gift, and you will avoid capital gains tax on the stock’s appreciation.

Please contact us for instructions if you have physical possession of stock certificates and wish to endorse and send them to Oberlin Shansi directly, or if you wish to fund a life income gift (such as a charitable gift annuity, a charitable lead trust, a charitable remainder trust, or a pooled income fund) with appreciated stock.
