Donate Securities, Real Estate and Personal Property

Securities and Real Estate
Gifts of appreciated property, such as securities and real estate, provide a double tax benefit. The donor receives a tax deduction on their income tax, and if the property has appreciated and you have held it for one year, you avoid capital gains tax.

Tangible Personal Property
If you own valuable personal property such as fine art, stamps, or collectibles, it is possible to donate these to The Wistar Institute. You will need to contact our Development Office regarding this process.

To make a gift in any of these manners you may contact the Development Office at 215-898-3930.
