Stock or appreciated assets - For many, a stock portfolio is one of their most valuable assets, and one that can carry substantial appreciation over time. A charitable contribution of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is simple and entitles you to a double tax benefit: you receive a charitable deduction for the full current market value of the stock, and you avoid the capital gains tax on the appreciation. Find instructions for transferring securities to Cornell.
RamsRaise Crowdfunding - RamsRaise is a place where the entire Cornell community can rally together to raise funds for athletic and academic programs, special projects, and initiatives.
