Gifts of business interests – such as stock
in a closely-held corporation, S-corporation stock, and shares in
a professional corporation – can be beneficial for both you
and Baptist causes. Business interests can be given outright or,
in some cases can fund certain types of life-income gifts, primarily
net-income and flip unitrusts.
Since closely-held stock doesn't trade publicly, a gift of such an asset requires an independent appraisal to establish its fair market value. Your charitable deduction will be based on the appraised market value of the shares, minus any liabilities you may have accrued.
Because offering part ownership of a business
through a gift of stock involves issues of marketability, taxation,
liability, and involvement in business operations, the Foundation
must first review and approve any such transfer.
If you are considering a gift of a stock in a business interest, first consult with your attorney and accountant. We can work with you and your advisors to review the benefits of a gift.
