Thank you for your interest in giving a gift of securities to Northeastern University. Gifts of stock can be designated to support an area most meaningful to you, or designated to support general university priorities.

Benefits of Giving Stock
A gift of stock, or other appreciated property, entitles you to a tax deduction for the market value of the donated stock. If the stock you wish to donate has been held for more than one year, you can avoid capital gains tax on any appreciation of the stock by donating the stock prior to sale. Northeastern University benefits by selling the stock without paying taxes on the gain, and you benefit from making a contribution that would be larger than what you might have been able to donate in cash. 

Instructions for Electronic Stock Transfer to Northeastern
To have a gift of stock electronically transferred:

1. Submit a transmittal form to Northeastern University stating your intention to donate.  Complete and submit the form online. You can also print and mail this information to:

   Northeastern University
   Attention Noreen Gallagher
   118 Cushing Hall
   360 Huntington Avenue
   Boston, MA 02115-5005

   Alerting Northeastern that the stock transfer is taking place allows us to properly identify, direct and acknowledge your gift.

2. Instruct your broker to transfer shares to Northeastern University at:

   UBS Financial Services
   100 Federal Street
   Boston, MA 02110
   Depository Trust Company (DTC): 221
   Northeastern University Account:

   Contact: William Cotter (617) 261-1132
   Reference: Donor Name (your name)

   If your broker has questions about making an electronic gift of securities, please have your broker contact Noreen Gallagher, n.gallagher@neu.edu, 617.373.2793.
   
   Note: It is important that your broker does not sell the securities and send us a check. If the broker does this, the tax advantages of making a gift of appreciated stock may be eliminated.
