Giving Stocks and Securities

Giving a gift of stock is easy. To complete an electronic transfer of stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or mutual funds to Wheaton Academy, simply contact Doug Hardy at dhardy@wheatonacademy.org to notify us of your stock gift and for additional information.

A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a two-fold tax savings, avoiding capital gains tax on the increase in value of the stock and providing an income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock at the time of the gift.
