You can receive a tax deduction for the asset\u2019s full market value at the time of donating. You can also avoid paying any capital gains tax you might otherwise incur from the sale, ensuring that more of your gift reaches IMS. Please consult first with your tax advisor to understand your specific situation.<\/p>\n<h3>To offer a gift of stock<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Please email us at development@dharma.org, or call 978-355-4378 ext. 320, for stock transfer instructions.
