    Gifts of Securities<\/h3>\n

    Donors who own appreciated securities (held for over 12 months) can make a gift of securities to SPH. The donor can claim a charitable income-tax deduction for the full value of the stock. In doing so, donors can avoid the associated capital gains tax had they sold the shares. To make a gift of securities, please complete the Boston University Security Transfer<\/a> form.<\/p>\n
