Make a Gift of Stock

Making a gift to the ACLU Foundation of Southern California via stock, or other securities (such as bonds or mutual funds), allows you to have an immediate impact on the fight for civil liberties. The total value of your gift is tax-deductible as long as it has been held for at least one year. There is no obligation to pay any capital gains tax on the appreciated value. And the gift is fully deductible as of the date it arrives in our account. Each individual’s tax situation is different, so please be sure to consult your tax advisor about the best way to make your charitable gifts.

Please have your broker "DTC" transfer shares into our "corporate" account at Schwab. The "DTC" instructions that the broker needs are:

  • Code 40, DTC #0164
  • Charles Schwab & Co. Inc.
  • Attn: Transfer of Accounts
  • 101 Montgomery St., San Francisco, CA 94101
  • FBO: ACLU Foundation of Southern California

Please notify the Development Department by calling 213-977-5216 or emailing donate@aclusocal.org, once your broker has been instructed to make the transfer. Please include the name of the stock and the number of shares so we can track it.
