Gifts of Appreciated Securities

How It Works

1. You can send unendorsed stock certificates by registered mail or instruct your broker to make the transfer from your account to our account
2. You receive an income-tax deduction
3. Smile Train may keep or sell the securities

Benefits

• You may receive a federal income-tax deduction for the full fair-market value of the securities
• You avoid long-term capital-gain tax on any appreciation in the value of the stock
• Your gift will support Smile Train as you designate
