Stocks Donations - How to donate stocks (and get tax savings!!)
 

To donate stock to a non-profit organization such as SEF, the donor generally must submit written authorization to his/her broker to make the transfer of shares. This must include the following information:

Your name, Your brokerage firm, Your account number, Date of transfer, Number of shares, Name of stock, Our name (Saratoga Education Foundation), Our brokerage firm, Our account number, DTC number.

We have a brokerage account with:

  • Charles Schwab ACCT #7761-0458 DTC #0164

You may make your donation to this account. It does not matter if your account is with another firm. We do ask that you notify SEF of your donation. Brokers do not necessarily notify us when the stock comes in and there is nothing in the monthly statements to indicate who made each donation. We will be unable to acknowledge your gift unless you notify SEF.
