Stocks, Securities and Real Estate    
       
Charitable gifts of appreciated stocks and securities can provide even greater tax benefits than a cash gift of equal value. You may take a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property, while avoiding capital gains taxes. The IRS currently allows you to deduct the full fair market value of the property, up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income, for the year. Any amount over that ceiling can be carried forward for future deduction for up to five years, subject to the same percentage limitations.
