Gifts of Appreciated Holdings

While cash gifts are the most popular type of charitable contribution, an even more tax-friendly way to support Carolina Day School is through gifts of appreciated holdings. Such holdings include:

  • Securities (stocks and bonds)
  • Property (real estate and personal property such as art)
  • Retirement plans
  • Business interests (partnerships, C corp., S corp.)

Donors who give appreciated holdings to Carolina Day School not only receive a charitable deduction on their income taxes but also avoid taxes on the capital gains portion of their donated assets.
