Many people have stocks that have greatly increased in value since their purchase.
By using these stocks for some of your charitable giving, you can conserve cash for other uses and maximize the value of your charitable gifts. This can dramatically reduce the cost of making a charitable gift or increase the amount you can afford to give. The purpose of this general information is to provide options available to help meet your charitable goals. Tax revisions and State laws govern wills, trusts and other charitable gifts made through a contractual agreement. You should always seek competent legal advice regarding your estate planning .
