Gifts of Stock
Support the Zoo while maximizing your tax benefits.
Donating appreciated securities, like stocks or bonds, is an easy, tax-efficient way for you to make a gift to Nashville Zoo.
Benefits of donating stocks and bonds:
- Avoiding capital gains taxes on the sale of appreciated stock
- Receiving a charitable income tax deduction
- Supporting the work and mission of Nashville Zoo
If you plan to transfer a gift of stock to Nashville Zoo, you can find instructions for how to do so below. Please note: the value of a charitable donation of stock shares is determined by taking the mean between the high and low stock price on the date of the gift.
