Gifts of Business Interests —
Closely Held Stock

You can give Mother Jones investment partnership shares or closely-held stock, as an outright transfer or to fund a life-income gift. Such a gift should be carefully reviewed by your legal and tax counsel first, and we will also assess it before we proceed.

How it works

	You give shares of closely-held stock to Mother Jones.
	Mother Jones offers the stock back to your company for redemption or re-purchase and uses the proceeds for its programs.

Benefits

• You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the appraised value of your shares, even if their original value was close to zero.
• You pay no capital gains tax on any appreciation that has taken place in the shares.
• Under certain conditions, you may be able to use closely-held shares to fund a life-income arrangement.
• You can have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits both you and Mother Jones during your lifetime.
