A legacy gift to Pilot International through a bequest in your will can help you manage your personal financial plan and extend your commitment for generations. Bequests can be residual, a percentage, specific, or contingent bequest.

Gift of Stock or Securities

Gifts of stocks are a popular alternative to making a cash gift because of the tax advantages they may provide. Not only will you receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the securities, you may also avoid capital gains on the appreciation of your stocks. If your donated securities are used to fund a charitable trust or gift annuity, there may be estate and gift tax advantages as well.

To make such a gift, do not sell the stock and donate the proceeds, as this will jeopardize your tax benefits. Instead, notify your broker and contact us at 478-477-1208. Please be prepared to provide us with the following information: donor name, broker name and contact, name of stock(s) to be transferred, number of shares and/or approximate value, approximate date of transfer, and purpose/beneficiary for the gift.
