Gifts of appreciated securities are a smart and simply way to maximize the effectiveness of your charitable giving.  If stocks or mutual funds* you have held more than a year have increased in value, you may want to consider a gift of these assets, rather than cash.  By transferring ownership of your long-term stock to Boys & Girls Club of Bartlesville, you make a gift to support our mission, avoid the capital gains tax you would pay if the stock were sold, and you may claim a charitable income tax deduction for the current fair market value of the asset.

*Does not apply to tax-exempt retirement plans (ie., IRAs, 401(k)s, etc.)
