Gifts of Stock

Donating Appreciated Securities

How it Works

You can make a gift of appreciated securities—publicly traded stocks, ETFs, bonds and mutual fund shares to CYJ. You benefit by avoiding capital gains tax and still get a full tax deduction for your donation. It’s a simple and efficient way to give.

1. You transfer appreciated securities to CYJ.
2. CYJ sells the securities and uses the proceeds for camp

How You Benefit

1. You receive credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of your securities.
2. You avoid capital gains tax.

Transfer Directions

1. Please contact your brokerage firm to determine the correct form they need to transfer securities.
2. Please complete the form with CYJ as the recipient:
   

   Camp Young Judaea Midwest, Inc
   Vanguard Group Account #57719231
   DTC: 0062

   You receive credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of your securities.

3. Please note that the securities you use to make your gift must have been held by you for more than one year to be fully deductible.

CYJ does not provide financial or tax advice and you should consult with your attorney or accountant for your specific tax situation.
