Securities
Contributing appreciated securities to Fairfield Prep is an ideal way to make a gift. If the security has been held for at least one year, the donor may be eligible for an income tax deduction of the full market value. In addition, the donor may avoid any capital gain tax. Please consult your tax advisor for information regarding your own personal situation.

Your gift is considered made on the date that the securities pass unconditionally out of your control. For listed securities, the value of the gift is the mean between the high and low quotations on the date that the gift is made. Fairfield Prep normally records the gift at this value and provides acknowledgement of the receipt of the gift.
