Stock Gifts Option 2
Arrange an electronic transfer of securities through a depository trust company (DTC).
- Ask your transfer agent or brokerage firm if they want written
instructions from you authorizing a transfer of securities. Some have a form
you will need to complete and return to them; some will be happy to get a letter
from you; some will be content to get verbal instructions. Your signature on
written instructions should be "gold medallion" certified.
The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has form letters for this purpose which we would be happy to prepare for you to sign and send to your investment agent; we can also fax transfer instructions directly to your broker. Complete the Gift Notification Form and note what help you need on the preparations for the transfer.
- Whether you complete a form provided by the investment company
or sign a form letter created by the UUA, you will need to authorize and
initiate the transfer yourself. Please send the UUA Stewardship and
Development Office a copy of your authorization of the transfer.
- Instruct your transfer agent or investment company to do the
following:
Deliver the gifted stock (with free delivery) to:
RBC Wealth Management

Name of the Account:
The Unitarian Universalist Gift Account

- Timing. As soon as your securities reach the UUA’s gift account at
RBC Wealth Management, they will be sold. Please note that, as December sees very
heavy traffic, we strongly advise you to begin a transfer early in the month in
order to complete it before the year ends.
- Confirmation of completed transfer. A gift transferred through a DTC is recognized on the date the gifted securities "hit" the UUA’s account at RBC Wealth Management. Whenever feasible, the UUA Stewardship and Development Office will call you to confirm a completed gift as soon as we know about it. You will also receive written acknowledgment of your contribution well in time for your annual tax filing.
