3. Transfer of Appreciated Assets from your Brokerage firm
This type of contribution would include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, EFTs, closed-end funds, REITs, and other exchange traded investment products. This method of donating is often preferred by investors due to the favorable tax treatment of appreciated assets. In most cases the donor can claim the appreciated value of the asset as a full tax deduction (if held over 12 months.) This eliminates any capital gains the donor would have been subject to were they to sell the asset outright. To transfer such assets typically the Brokerage firm holding the assets will require you to fill out a "Partial Distribution Form" To do this you will need the following information:
Receiving Firm Name: TD Ameritrade
DTC Number: 0188
Receiving Account Title: Vedic Community Foundation, Inc.
Receiving Account Number: 866257200
Asset Description, CUSIP or Stock symbol
Number of Shares
Once received by the VCF we will provide you with a letter of acknowledgement establishing the value of the donation for tax purposes based of the market price at the close of that days market trading session.
