An Example of How It Works

Glenn and his mother smiling When Glenn’s mother passed away, he knew he wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for her. He remembered that during her lifetime she was always praising the Culinary Institute of America for its tireless efforts to better the community.

Glenn decided to make a gift to the Culinary Institute of America in his mother’s name using appreciated securities. Not only will his mother’s legacy live on at the Culinary Institute of America thanks to the gift, but Glenn also qualified for a federal income tax charitable deduction and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
