Both you and Proctors can benefit by a gift of appreciated stock. Not only do you save yourself from paying capital gains on an appreciated asset, but you can take a charitable deduction for the current value of the stock as well. For example, let's say your stock was purchased at $25 and is now worth $100. You decide to donate 25 shares to Proctors. You will save $375 in capital gains tax, which you would have had to pay if you sold the stock. And you have a tax deduction of $2500 as well. Please call the Theatre prior to making a stock gift for current transfer information.
You may also consider leaving a bequest to Proctors as part of your estate plans. Many donors choose to make a substantial gift to Proctors as a lasting tribute of their affection for the Theatre. In either of these cases it is best to have a discussion with your attorney, accountant or financial planner regarding your specific financial status and the most beneficial way to structure your gift.
