Gifts of appreciated, publicly traded securities and closely held stock can be extremely beneficial - both to you and RecSports. You may receive an income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities, as well as reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes. Gifts of stock and mutual funds are coordinated by the UT System Office of Development and Gift Planning Services. Proceeds from the sale of these assets are directed to any RecSports program you wish. Please contact Charlotte Hambrick at 512-499-4300 for more information.

Publicly traded securities - securities regularly traded on the public stock exchange.

Closely held stock - securities in entities that have been organized for profit-making purposes and are rarely traded on stock exchanges.

Bonds and government issues may also be given to the benefit of RecSports.
