Transferring marketable securities via DTC (the Depository Trust Company, a securities clearing house) may be accomplished only through the cooperation of your broker.

Please note that donors must have their signature medallion-guaranteed by a bank or broker.

Stock Certificates and Stock Powers
If you send a stock certificate that is in your name, please include a letter indicating the purpose of the gift. Under separate cover, provide a signed Stock Power form (PDF) for each security you contribute. Stock powers are also available from UVA Gift Processing Services at 434-924-7018 or from any broker.

Attention: Mail stock certificates and stock powers separately.
If the certificates have been re-registered to the University of Virginia, no stock power is needed. A letter should be included identifying the donor and the purpose of the gift. The process for re-registering stock certificates (transferring the certificate into the University’s name) can take from two to four weeks.

Appreciated Securities
If your investments in the financial markets have been successful, you can use these assets without losing a substantial portion of your earnings to the capital gains tax by making your gift with appreciated stock. Also, a gift of stock held more than one year may qualify for a charitable income tax deduction equal to the securities’ full fair-market value. It is also possible to make a gift with appreciated securities in a mutual fund.
