Gift of Stock or IRA Distributions
"The longtime friendship between us and Pittsburgh Public Theater began in the mid-1970s when we saw a newspaper advertisement about the opening of a new theater and decided to attend. We never knew what to expect. We liked what The Public was doing. We came and saw, had a little bit of money, so we gave what we could. The Public seemed to be on the cutting-edge and moving in the right direction, progressing and doing different things."
- Alex and Pat Boyer
Longtime Donors & Subscribers since Season 1
Your gift of stock or IRA distributions is a smart way to support The Public while avoiding capital gains and getting an immediate charitable deduction. You can receive significant tax benefits when you give appreciated stocks and bonds. With a gift of stock, you can take a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock. In addition to a charitable gift tax deduction, a gift of stock offers the extra benefit of avoiding capital gains tax on the stocks' unrealized appreciation.
For information on giving stock to The Public, please contact Cindy Tutera, General Manager, at 412.316.8200, ext. 705.
