The Market is Soaring – Take Advantage of Appreciated Stock for Charitable Giving

Thank you to all of our alumni and friends who financially support the LSU Law Center.

The stock market has soared over recent weeks, and we want to remind you of the tax benefit of taking advantage of the current market. As a donor, you could receive added tax benefits by donating appreciated stocks in lieu of cash gifts.

The donation of appreciated stock allows a donor to take an immediate tax deduction for the full market value of the stock, while avoiding the capital-gains tax you would owe by cashing in the securities.

For information on making a gift of appreciated stock, visit the LSU Foundation’s secure website.
