Gifts of Stock

Your stock broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via a direct transfer to Idaho Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Tax id: 75-2854965.  Giving a gift of publicly traded stock that has increased in value and that you have owned for more than one year may provide greater tax benefits than giving cash.  Your charitable income tax deduction may be equal to the fair market value of the stock and you could avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the current value over the original cost of the stock.  You may also save by not incurring brokerage fees because you are transferring ownership rather than selling the stock.

Gift Acceptance Policy:

Publicly Traded Securities

1.  The Komen Idaho Affiliate and Komen Headquarters accept publicly traded securities, or other readily marketable securities.  Such securities will be sold promptly after the gift is received unless otherwise approved  by Komen Headquarters' Gift Acceptance Committee.

Individuals (or entities) who have expressed a desire to give securities and who will use the above brokerage information shall be requested to inform a member of the Development Department prior to transferring securities so that the gift can be properly acknowledged and properly directed to the Komen Idaho Affiliate.  Komen Idaho may opt to provide donors with transfer information for a local brokerage house for convenience for gifts of securities made to Komen Boise.  In the event an individual or entity elects to physically deliver the securities to Komen Idaho, such securities must be accompanied with the transferor’s signature or stock power attached.
