A gift of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economical way to give.
You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income and will not have to recognize the appreciation of the capital gain.
To make a gift of stock or shares of a mutual fund, please instruct your bank or broker that you are making a gift of securities to Hartford Seminary.
Please tell your bank or broker not to proceed until speaking with our Business Office at (860) 509-9525.
For further guidance and wire transfer instructions please contact Michael Sandner msandner@hartsem.edu
