Gifts of Stock
There are some key advantages to giving a gift of stock. If you've held the security for more than 12 months, you'll be entitled to a tax deduction (both state and federal) at the fair market value and you won't pay capital gains tax.
Please notify us of your intention to transfer stock and we will let you know as soon as it is received.
To transfer stock by DTC wire directly to the Aquarium, give your stockbroker the information found in our Gift of Stock guide.
The Aquarium received the highest CharityNavigator rating for more than five years in a row.
