Appreciated Securities, Mutual Funds & Digital Currency Gifts into a GCDAF

Stock & Mutual Fund Gifts

For stock and mutual fund gifts, shares are transferred into an account owned by Cru Foundation. A Stock Administrator then sells the shares. Once the proceeds are received, it is deposited and credited according to your directions into the Fund.

Typically, you will need to alert your financial advisor or broker that you would like to contribute appreciated securities to Cru Foundation.

The advisor will then transfer the applicable shares using Cru Foundation’s transfer and broker account information (which can be found here). In some instances, the transfer can happen the same day that you make the request to your financial advisor. (Mutual funds can take additional time as the custodian might require additional processes.)

–>Please ALWAYS notify Cru Foundation of your gift transfer using the Stock Notification Form so that your gift is allocated appropriately. Email a copy of your completed form to info@crufoundation.org or call 800-449-5454 with any questions.

NOTE: The shares of stock arrive in our brokerage account without information about the person donating the shares nor the purpose of the gift. Please always notify us of your stock transfer.

Cryptocurrency
