Gifts of Appreciated Property
Gifts of appreciated property are a common way for you to benefit Luther College and, at the same time, generate a tax savings. In many cases, you can avoid capital gains tax by transferring the appreciated asset to Luther College instead of selling it and donating the proceeds. The most common gifts of appreciated property include stock, mutual funds, and real property.
