Gifts of Securities

When donating stock to the Law School, alumni may take a standard charitable deduction for the mean fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift while also avoiding capital gains tax on appreciated securities. Avoiding capital gains tax decreases the cost of your gift by your applicable capital gains tax rate and makes donating appreciated securities the better option if you are considering whether to give cash or stock. If you have general questions about donating securities, please contact the Harvard Law School’s Planned Giving Office at 617-495-9891 or plannedgiving@law.harvard.edu.

To make a gift of securities please contact the Harvard Management Company at 866.845.6596 or security_gifts@hmc.harvard.edu.
