Why Make a Gift of Securities?

Making a gift of securities is a simple and powerful way to support the work of the Henri Nouwen Society. It also offers you a number of financial benefits:

  • You can easily donate appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds

  • The total value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible

  • There is no obligation to pay any capital gains taxes on the appreciation

Note: Individual situations vary so donors should consult their advisors
