Gifts of Securities

Gifts of appreciated securities may offer better tax benefits than a gift of cash. There are three ways to make a contribution.

Electronic transfer - Please ask your accountant or broker to contact the Chicago State Foundation (Foundation) for instructions.

Physical securities registered in the foundation's name - For donors who wish to have shares transferred into the Foundation’s name, consult your broker/agent or the security issuing agent for instructions. The Foundation’s Federal Tax Identification Number is 47-3644945.

After completion of transfer, send security via registered mail to the Foundation. Please include a transmittal letter identifying the name and address of the donor, security description and quantity, and intended purpose of the gift.

Physical securities in the donor's name - If you wish to make a donation in the form of physical securities registered in your name, please contact the Foundation.
