Ways to Give
Donate securities
Many donors prefer to give appreciated securities directly to The Foundation rather than sell them and donate the proceeds, as this allows for certain tax benefits. If you own securities that have depreciated, you can sell the stock, take the capital loss deduction, and make a gift to support the community colleges.
Whether your stocks are held by yourself or kept with a bank/broker, you must notify The Foundation before making a gift of securities. This will help to ensure that proper crediting and timely acknowledgement take place.
Transfers from a Bank or Broker
If your bank or broker holds your securities, please contact our Finance Operations Director, Kim Brent, or Development Coordinator, Lisa Clark, for DTC instructions. We will also need the following information:
- The donor’s name, address, and telephone number
- The broker’s name, company, and telephone number
- Name of the security
- Number of shares
- Purpose of the gift
Transfers of Physical Stock Certificates
If you are transferring physical stock certificate(s), please contact Kim Brent at 603-230-3540.
