Gifts of Stock

Many PBS supporters find it attractive to donate long-term appreciated stock. Stocks are characterized in this way if they:

(1) have been owned for more than one year; and

(2) have increased in value.

Your donation will be equal to what the stock is worth on the date of the gift as opposed to its purchase price.

In addition to making a major impact, your donation of stock may help you enjoy valuable tax savings.

If you itemize, you will be eligible to claim a charitable income tax deduction equal to the value of the stock. The deduction will be limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income (“AGI”). Any amounts that are unable to be claimed can be carried forward for up to five additional years until the deduction is fully exhausted.
