Gifts of Securities

Giving securities is one of the most effective ways to give from a tax planning perspective. Giving publicly traded securities to Seattle Colleges Foundation that were purchased over a year ago and have increased in value can be an especially attractive way to fund a donation. A donor may benefit from a charitable deduction equal to the value of the securities. In addition to the tax deduction, capital gains tax is not due on gain in the donated securities.

Please contact us via mail, email or telephone regarding the purpose of the gift when the transfer is made. If you have any questions, please contact Traci Russell at 206-934-5661. If sending email, please use the Contact Us link on the navigation menu.

Thank you for your support of Seattle Colleges Foundation.
