Transferring securities held long term to Christian Legal Society (CLS) allows you to make a gift and receive a charitable deduction equal to the full, fair market value of the securities.

It’s a win-win! You pay no capital gains on your gift and neither does CLS.

Avoid selling the assets and then making a gift of the proceeds, because this will trigger a capital gains liability for you.

The process is fairly simple to support CLS with a gift just contact your broker and electronically transfer the stock from your account to CLS’ account at Morgan Stanley.
