How to make a gift with stocks and bonds:

By electronic transfer – Please contact us for instructions on how you can transfer stock or bonds from your brokerage or investment account to One Mind.

By certified mail – If you hold securities in certificate form, you will need to mail two envelopes separately to complete your gift. In the first envelope, place the unsigned stock certificate(s). In the other envelope, include a signed stock power for each certificate. You may obtain this power from your broker or bank. Please remember to use certified mail.

More on gifts of stocks and bonds

There are special rules for valuing a gift of stock. The value of a charitable gift of stock is determined by taking the mean between the high and low stock price on the date of the gift. Mutual fund shares are valued using the closing price for the fund on the date of the gift.

If you would like to support One Mind over time and not all at once, you can do so through a designated fund that One Mind has established at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. This fund receives the same tax treatment as gifts made directly to charities.
