Donations of Stocks and Certificates

Donations of stocks or certificates are appreciated and can have tax advantages for the contributor. Sometimes, the increased value of the donation, capital gain, can be significant and a tax liability to the holder. By donating you may be able to reduce your tax liability while making a significant contribution at the same time. As always, we encourage each donor to contact his tax consultant for advice.

Donating stock held more than 12 months can be a tax advantage to you. Stock may be donated to Wings World Wide - The Air Medical Foundation as an "in-kind" donation.
