Gifts of Securities
Appreciated securities that you have owned for than one year can offer tremendous financial benefits when you donate these shares to Ave Maria University. By gifting these shares, you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation, while deducting the full fair market value of the security at the time of the gift. Donors can make gifts of securities by transferring shares of publicly traded stock to Ave Maria University.
Please contact our Planned Giving Office at 239-348-4715 or plannedgiving@avemaria.edu to learn more about the how to transfer securities to Ave Maria University.
