Give Stocks and Bonds

When you donate stocks and bonds to Genesis Innovation Academy, your gift goes directly to the programs and services that create greater futures for our scholars.

A gift of appreciated securities also provides increased tax benefits to you. The benefits of gifting securities that you have owned for more than one year or have inherited are twofold: you are able to take a tax deduction for the current full market value of the securities and you avoid capital gains tax that is incurred when you sell a security.
