Gifts of Stock
Gifts of appreciated securities, such as stocks and mutual funds, are excellent ways to support the Augusta Museum of History. Such gifts are simple and may provide a greater tax benefit than an equivalent gift in cash. Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. Contact: Gerald Mathis (706) 823-1000
A gift of stock owned for more than one year may entitle you to an income-tax charitable deduction for the full fair-market value of the donated asset. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid any capital-gains tax on the appreciation.
The majority of stock gifts are made through a simple electronic transfer. Your broker may transfer securities to the following account held by the Augusta Museum of History:
DTC Number: 0141
