Donating Stocks

Gifts of securities such as stocks or mutual funds afford donors an attractive means of giving to Abundant Life Christian Fellowship. Donors receive a tax deduction for the market value of the securities, computed on the day of their transfer, while avoiding payment of capital gains on the stock's appreciated value. Donors of stock are encouraged to consult their brokers or advisors. Following are the ways that stock or mutual fund gifts can be made:

 

ELECTRONIC DELIVERY

If the securities are held by your bank or broker, it is usually best to transfer them electronically via the Depository Trust Co. (DTC) system:

1. E-mail Accounting/Finance and provide the following information:

  • Your name and address

  • The name and ticker symbol of the security

  • The number of shares

  • The purpose of your gift.

If you need further assistance, please email giving@alcf.net or call 650.625.1500, x122 from Tuesday through Friday during business hours.

 

Due to privacy concerns, your name is not transmitted by your brokerage to ALCF to identify you as the donor. For ALCF Accounting to identify you as the donor for IRS purposes, we rely solely on you contacting us with the gift information above.

 

2. Contact your broker and instruct them to transfer your gift via DTC to our account at Charles Schwab & Co. The details are:
