- DonateStock is the trusted facilitator of charitable gifts of securities, crypto and other non-cash assets for more than 10,000 nonprofits and donors.
- To better serve our stock and crypto donors, we host giving pages (like this one) so they can donate securities and crypto to other nonprofits from their DonateStock account.
- As this specific nonprofit has not yet registered with us, the donation will be processed and paid by Donatestock Charitable, Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- Once the gift is initiated, we will contact the nonprofit beneficiary to inform them of the gift and arrange payment.
- After the gift is received, we will provide a tax receipt to the donor and send the proceeds, gift details and donor information to the nonprofit beneficiary.
- Payments are normally sent via ACH within 2 weeks of receiving the shares or crypto. If we cannot reach the nonprofit beneficiary within 30 days, we will remit payment by check.
- There is no cost to donors or financial advisors. Nonprofits are charged a modest transaction fee that is in line with (or lower than) other online gifts.
