Albion

Many of Albion's supporters like to make gifts of stock, bonds or mutual funds. This method of giving often carries the advantage of earning an income tax deduction for the full value of the stock without having to pay capital gains tax on any appreciation.

If you wish to make such a gift, there are a few details you, your broker, or your trust officer will need.
