Giving of stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares that have appreciated in value is a great way to maximize your support of Grand Piano Series. When you donate appreciated securities, you receive an immediate tax deduction for the full value of the asset even if you originally paid much less for them. You pay no capital gains taxes on this donation. We then sell the securities at market value and receive the full proceeds to support our charitable mission. Because we are a charitable non-profit, we do not pay tax on this either. We’ll recognize your generosity at the full value of this donation!
