If your investment portfolio
includes highly appreciated, low-yielding stock or
mutual funds and you're considering a donation to the
American Youth Scholarship Foundation, you may want to
think about making a gift of stock or mutual funds.
It's a tax-wise way to support future scholars.
Gifts of
appreciated securities held longer than one year are
exempt from capital gains taxes and entitle the donor
to a tax deduction equal to the market value of the
securities at the time of transfer.
To avoid exposure
to capital gain tax, the stock must be transferred to
the American Youth Scholarship Foundation. We then
sell the stock from our account, and you receive
credit for a gift of the net proceeds.
To make a current
gift of stock or discuss the tax-deductable
advantages, please contact Dr. Alexander Kashef at the
American Youth Scholarship Foundation.
There
are numerous tax-advantaged ways of making a
Legacy Gift to the American Youth Scholarship
Foundation. Explore the various options
described on these pages to learn more about the
rewards of making a legacy gift. We hope
you will become a partner with the American
Youth Scholarship Foundation in the shaping of
our future communities and country.
