Stock Donations. If you would like to make a gift of stock to our organization, we would be happy to provide stock transfer instructions to you. It is a simple, straightforward process. Our team can provide you with the name of our brokerage firm, the brokerage firm’s DTC number, the account name and number, and the telephone number and name of our broker contact. Please note that it is important that the securities be transferred prior to being sold in order to avoid capital gains taxation.

Many companies also provide matching dollars for employee giving, providing a great way to maximize impact and value.

IRA Charitable Rollover. If you are 70½ or older, an IRA charitable rollover may be an option for you. For more details, contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift from your IRA to InvestED. Let them know if you’d like to designate the gift to a particular partner school or schools. Please note that IRA charitable rollover gifts may not qualify for a charitable deduction.
