How to make a Gift of Stock to Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa

Advantages of Stock Gifts

The gift of an appreciated asset is a powerful way to support Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa (PPGI). The advantages allow you to:

• Receive an income tax charitable deduction for the full market value
  
• Avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the securities 
  
• Help support Iowa’s women and men by providing quality reproductive health care and accurate science-base sexuality education to all regardless of their ability to pay
  

Valuation of Stock Gifts

The value of the gift will be the mean of the high and low trading prices on the official date of your gift to PPGI. The official date of your gift will be determined differently depending on how it is made. 

• By mail…it is the postmark date
  
• By overnight carrier…it is the date of receipt by PPGI
  
• By electronic transfer…it is the date the security is received into PPGI’s bank/brokerage account
