Making a charitable contribution to Children's Bureau, Inc. in the form of long term appreciated securities generally provides two important tax advantages. First, the donor is entitled to a charitable income tax deduction based on the fair market value, not the cost basis of the securities, provided it has been owned for more than 12 months. The second advantage is avoidance of the capital gain tax which would be realized if the appreciated securities had been sold by the donor.

The value of the stock - and the amount of the charitable contribution - is the mean between the highest and the lowest selling price on the date of the gift.
