We understand that your financial and philanthropic goals are unique to you. For this reason, we provide a variety of ways for patrons to give at any level. We would be happy to assist as you develop your or your clients’ philanthropic objectives, and we encourage prospective donors to consult with their professional advisors before making giving decisions.

Stock Held in a Brokerage Account:

Option 1: Electronic Transfer

Instruct your broker to transfer shares electronically to the nsoro Foundation. Our brokerage account is with Wilmington Trust.

After instructing your broker to make the transfer, please e-mail Monica Pantoja, Executive Director, at mpantoja@nsoro.foundation so she can match your name with your gift when it arrives. You can also call at 404-524-0807, ext. 402.

Please note that it typically takes two or three business days to complete an electronic stock transfer.

Stock gifts by electronic transfer are credited to the donor the date the shares are received in the nsoro Foundation brokerage account. The gift amount is the average market value on that day.

You may need the following information for the electronic transfer of a stock gift:
