Donors considering a gift of appreciated mutual fund shares are encouraged to contact their tax advisors regarding any personal tax implications of making a gift of such shares to Kepler College. Established works of art, computers, rare books, technical manuals, etc., are examples of such property. As with gifts of real estate, responsibility for determining the value of such property lies wholly with the donor. Gifts of tangible property deemed not substantially related to Kepler's educational mission may also entitle the donor to a charitable deduction, but in such cases, the deduction will be limited to the donor's cost basis for the property.
