As In a year with wonderful market returns like we are experiencing in 2017, appreciated securities are often a great choice with which to make charitable gifts. Gifts of appreciated securities offer important tax advantages, since their full fair market value is deductible as a charitable contribution up to 30% of adjusted gross income each year when itemizing deductions. Please contact us at 607-272-8670 or by email to Nancy Massicci no later than December 15, 2017.
