Gifts of appreciated assets, rather than cash, can be made to St. John’s College and may provide special tax advantages to you, the donor. Giving appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can allow for the avoidance of capital gains taxes and, in most cases, provide a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the donation.
