An Example of How It Works
When Sarah's father passed away, she knew she wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for him. She remembered that during his lifetime he was always praising Assistance League of Long Beach for its tireless efforts to better his community.
Sarah decided to make a gift to Assistance League of Long Beach in her father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will her father's legacy live on at Assistance League of Long Beach thanks to the gift, but Sarah also received a federal income tax charitable deduction (because she itemizes her taxes) and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
