Make a Donation of Stock
Gifts of appreciated stocks or property are particularly advantageous from a tax point of view, especially if you own appreciated stocks on which you would have to pay long-term capital gains tax. Because each tax situation is different, please consult your tax adviser about making a gift of stock.
If you have decided to give stock, the process is very simple: Ask your broker to electronically transfer the gifted securities directly to the Hartford Symphony Orchestra’s Account:
Advest Investment Group Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network1650 West St.Southington, Ct 06489
HSO Account # 3304 7272DTC #0141
