Gifts of Stock and Securities

Donating stock or other appreciated assets (instead of cash) to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is an attractive gift alternative for many people. Possible tax benefits include being able to deduct the full, fair market value of the appreciated assets you give us, while avoiding capital gains liability on the transfer.

“I don't have children of my own, but I do have a wonderful niece and nephew who are very close to me. I'm in my 70s, so I already have a will with plans to leave my assets to them. I was stunned and heartbroken when I found out my nephew was dying from pancreatic cancer. How could this be? I was the one who was older and twice his age! I made sure he and his family were receiving the best health care possible, but I wanted to do more. I had some appreciated shares from a recent stock investment, and I knew it would do more going to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network than sitting on Wall Street. I did some investigation of cancer charities and found that the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network was engaging in the most effective advocacy for increasing research dollars to find a cure. I plan on keeping active with the organization so they can keep up their mission to provide my nephew and many others with real hope while they fight this awful disease.”
