Giving Via Stock & IRA

Giving to USM Via Stock

Stock owned for more than a year with increased value is worthy of donating to the University of Saint Mary.

Suppose you invest $2,500 in shares, and 10 years later, it is worth $5,000. You might owe $750 to Uncle Sam if your tax bracket has a 15 percent capital gains tax rate. If you give USM ownership of the stock, you could claim $5,000 as a charitable contribution on your taxes.

Contact your bank, financial advisor, broker, or transfer agent to deliver by DTC to:

Charles Schwab & Company, Inc.
DTC #: 0164, code 40
For credit to account: 7227-1257
Client account name: University of Saint Mary
FBO: University of Saint Mary

Communication is key in stock transfers since donor information does not always transmit.
