How to make a gift of stocks and bonds
By electronic transfer - Please email Patricia Vozke, Office Manager (pvolzke@bgccapo.com) for instructions on how you can transfer stock or bonds from your brokage or investment account to Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley.
By certified mail - If you hold securities in certificate form, you will need to mail two envelopes separately to complete your gift. In the first envelope, place the unsigned stock certificate(s). in the other envelope, include a signed stock power for each certificate. You may obtain this power from your broker or bank. Please remember to use certified mail.
More on gifts of stocks and bonds
There are special rules for valuing a gift or stock. The value of a charitable gift of stock is determined by taking the mean between the high and low stock price on the date of the gift. Mutual fund shares are valued using the closing price for the fund on the date of the gift.
If you have any questions or comments, please email Nicole Watson, Associate Executive Director at nwatson@bgccapo.com.
