Stocks / Securities Making a stock gift is an easy and tax-wise way to invest in Gonzaga. A gift of appreciated securities saves taxes twice. You may receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the donated shares if you've held the securities for more than one year, and you may avoid capital gain tax on the appreciation.

You will need to provide your broker with the following information:
