Donating stocks, bonds and appreciated securities is an excellent tax strategy for charitable giving. You can receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stocks, bonds or securities and avoid all or part of the capital gains tax.

Your broker may transfer stocks, bonds or securities directly to the Civil War Trust. Please inform your broker to include your name, address and telephone number when transferring the specific gift to the Civil War Trust so we may acknowledge your generous gift and send you a letter for your tax records.

The Civil War Trust is a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization. The federal ID number is 54-1426643
