Gift of Securities
Many donors find gifts of appreciated securities to be a financially sound and a convenient way to benefit Sigma Chi, and we have attempted to make the process easy for you. A gift of appreciated securities will have even more favorable tax consequences for you than selling the stock and making a cash donation to the Foundation.
