Gifts of Securities

The Smithsonian welcomes gifts of both marketable and closely held securities.

Gifts of Securities

Gifts of appreciated publicly traded securities that you have held for longer than 12 months allow you to claim a charitable deduction for the full market value of the securities on the date the gift is made while avoiding tax on the capital gain. 

Please contact Sarah Coco, Gift Registrar by phone 202-633-5019 or email (cocos@si.edu) for securities gift instructions.
