Planned Giving

Give securities

How It Works

By making a gift of securities, you can avoid capital gains tax on any appreciation of stock. You may also receive a federal income tax deduction for the full fair-market value.

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. Fordham may keep or sell the securities.

Benefits

• You 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 Fordham Law as you designate

Special note: Please contact Nancy Totino, senior director of development, at [email protected] or 212-636-6993 to tell us of your intent, and we can assist you with the transfer details.
