Making Gifts of Securities

Securities Pic

Gift support from alumni, parents and friends has helped Notre Dame become what it is today, and will help it achieve its goals for the future. Gifts of securities are an important component of the benevolence of the Notre Dame family, and often confer significant tax benefits on the donor. For example, contributions of appreciated securities held for over a year are generally deductible at market value, regardless of what the donor paid for the securities.

The first step in making a securities gift is to notify the Investment Office. For information on other ways of giving to Notre Dame, including planned giving opportunities, please contact the University's Department of Development.
