Stocks and Appreciated Securities

Transfer your stocks, bonds, or mutual funds to SCCi.

Benefits:

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer.
  • You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold.
  • Giving appreciated stock can be more beneficial than giving cash. The cost of your gift may be less than the deduction you gain by making it.

How It Works:

  • Contact your broker or investment account holder about a transfer or change of beneficiary designation form for mutual funds or other investment accounts.
  • Designate Southeastern Cave Conservancy, Inc. as receiving all or a percentage of the account assets.
  • Notify SCCi of your pending gift at donors@scci.org or call 423.771.9671.
