Gifts of Appreciated Stocks or Property are particularly advantageous from a tax point of view, especially if you own appreciated stocks on which you would have to pay long-term capital gains tax. Since each tax situation is different, please consult your tax advisor about making a gift of stock.

If you have decided to give stock, the process is very simple: Ask your broker to electronically transfer the stock directly to the Roger Baldwin Foundation account at:
