Thanks Critter for responding. It's my understanding that if we sold we would have taxable gain as our basis is $0 (due to the MLP making non-taxable distributions over the past 10 years). I haven't gotten granular but suspect it's something like $19k sale price minus $9k cumulative losses (if I can use them) for a $10 gain, part of which may be ordinary income after all the MLP machinations are completed. Thus, the desire to gift to charity.
