Support LI

Unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund provide essential dollars that support an outstanding learning environment from the classroom to the playing fields and beyond.

GIFTS OF SECURITIES

A gift of appreciated securities may be a beneficial way for you to make a gift to Lyndon Institute. You are entitled to a charitable deduction of the full current market value if you have owned the stock for more than one year. If you bought or received as a gift stock that was valued at $10 per share which is now worth $100 per share, you may donate it and avoid paying any capital gains tax on the appreciation. This can be a wonderful way to help LI while you help yourself!
