If you own stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other assets that have increased in value since the time of purchase, you may find it advantageous to give them to NAMI-Metropolitan Baltimore.
Your outright gift of long-term, appreciated securities is exempt from capital gains taxes and, if you itemize, you may claim a charitable income tax deduction equal to the full fair market value of the securities at the time of transfer.
For gifts of property, your gift is fully deductible for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income and, like gifts of cash, may be carried forward for up to five additional years.
