Donating stock or appreciated securities may help you in several ways.

1. For most contributions, the charitable deduction is the fair market value at the time of transfer.
2. Capital gains taxes which would be realized in the event such securities were sold can be avoided.
3. There are likel no brokerage fees or sales commissions.

To make a donation, follow these simple instructions:

1. Notify your broker in writing of your plan to gift securities to PASCON.
2. Tell your broker to contact us for instructions on how to complete the transfer.
3. PASCON will mail you a tax receipt once your broker lets us know that the transfer went through.
