If you have stock that has appreciated since you bought it, you can gain a tax benefit by donating the stock directly to MIU rather than selling the stock and donating the money. Donating appreciated assets avoids federal capital gains taxes and provides a federal income tax deduction for the current market value of the gift. Similar state tax benefits are also provided in most of the country. 

Because of this, donors can see combined tax savings of up to 70% of your gift on donations of appreciated stocks or mutual funds. Talk to your financial advisor for details.
