Gifts or pledges made with appreciated securities also benefit donors as the full market value of the gift can be itemized on federal tax returns. The full market value of the gift may be deducted if the securities were owned for more than 12 months. Securities used in this manner avoid capital gains taxes, and the gift is entirely deductible for federal tax purposes for up to 30 percent of the year’s adjusted gross income.
