Appreciated securities are an excellent asset in making a charitable gift to Summit. Your stockbroker can have your gift transferred to Summit’s account. It is important to notify the Development Office as to the name of the stock, the number of shares being donated, the date of the gift and its purpose. Once the transfer has been made, you will receive a receipt from Summit indicating the amount of the tax-deduction you can claim. All donors should confer with their tax advisors before making a gift to inquire as to tax deductibility and treatment. To execute a stock transfer, click here for Stock Gift Information.

The development office will complete the form and return it to your employer. If you are not certain whether your employer will match your gift to Summit, please contact your human resources office.
