Appreciated Securities

Do you own stock that has increased in value? Have you owned this stock for more than a year?

If you answered “yes” to both questions, we have good news for you!

You can support programs on SCETV and SC Public Radio by donating appreciated stock to the ETV Endowment. Many supporters find that giving stock actually helps them do more than what’s possible when giving cash. By joining these thoughtful investors, you ,too, can yield high returns for early childhood education, arts, history and culture all across our state.   

Tax Savings

There’s more! You may enjoy a double tax benefit when you donate appreciated stock. You may claim a generous tax deduction for what the stock is worth today as opposed to what it cost you many years ago. You will also avoid paying capital gains tax on the transfer of the stock. This would not be the case should you decide to first sell the stock and then donate the proceeds.

How to Give

Giving stock to the ETV Endowment is simple. By working with your broker, you may donate stock electronically or by registered mail. It’s also possible to name the ETV Endowment as a beneficiary of your stock account(s) – a popular option for our supporters who desire more flexibility. 

No matter if you decide to give now or later, a gift of appreciated stock can help you amplify your impact and create meaningful change close to home.
