Gifts of Stock or Securities

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset.

1. Make a stock donation in a matter of minutes.

Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, they can access our transfer information from this link to notify us of your gift. Donate Stocks

2. Not interested in using the online tool?

If the securities are held in a brokerage account, you should instruct your broker in writing to transfer them electronically to the broker for Guiding Eyes. NOTE: To avoid capital gains on appreciated securities, please do not direct your broker to sell the securities and transfer the proceeds to Guiding Eyes.

Please contact Cynthia Celestin, at ccelestin@guidingeyes.org prior to the transfer to receive the necessary stock transfer instructions and a proper acknowledgement for your gift. The gift is complete when the securities are received in our account.
