Gifts of stocks and securities allow donors an attractive means of giving to the Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast. As a donor, you would receive a tax deduction for the market value of the stock, computed on the day of its transfer while avoiding payment of capital gains on the stock’s appreciated value. If you are interested in donating stocks or securities, we encourage you to consult your broker or advisor. The following are ways that stock gifts can be made:

Electronic Delivery

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

1. Contact the Finance Department at (757) 547-4405 ext. 225 or by email and provide the following information:

a. Your name and address
b. The name and ticker symbol of the security
c. The number of shares
d. The purpose of your gift

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