You transfer securities
to the Yellowstone Park Foundation (YPF).
The YPF sells
your securities and uses the proceeds for its programs.
Benefits
You receive gift credit and an immediate
income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date
of transfer, no matter what you originally paid for them.
You pay no capital gains tax on the securities
you donate.
You can direct your gift to a specific fund
or purpose.
You can have the satisfaction of making a
significant gift now or funding a life-income gift that benefits the YPF later.
