More Ways to Give

As with all gifts, you should consult your own tax advisors to confirm that it is advantageous for you to contribute appreciated securities.

If your broker (or bank) holds your shares, you may request that they be transferred directly to Â鶹¹ú²úAV via DTC (Depository Trust Company):

  1. Provide your broker with Â鶹¹ú²úAV’s DTC information below and ask them to include your name in the wiring instructions:
    Merrill Lynch Account
    DTC: 8862
    Account Number: #814-04355
    Account Name: The Trustees of Â鶹¹ú²úAV College
    Broker: Claudine Zigmund (860-728-3984)
  2. In order for Â鶹¹ú²úAV to promptly process and credit the gift to you, let Yvonne Brady know the name of the stock, and the number of shares or approximate dollar amount you will be transferring (315-859-4652 or ybrady@hamilton.edu).
  3. The effective date of your gift will be the date the security is transferred into Â鶹¹ú²úAV’s account, and the value of your gift will be the average of the high and low quotations for that day.

If you hold your shares in certificate form:

  1. Send the unendorsed certificate(s) by first-class mail to:
    Yvonne Brady
    Communications and Development
    Â鶹¹ú²úAV College
    198 College Hill Road
    Clinton, NY 13323
  2. By separate first-class mail, send Yvonne Brady a stock power form signed exactly as your name appears on the security but left otherwise completely blank. Include a letter of instruction designating your gift to Â鶹¹ú²úAV.
  3. The valuation date will be the postmark date on the certificate and the stock power form (whichever is postmarked last), and the value of your gift will be the average of the high and low quotations for that day.
  4. If your gift is to be less than the total number of shares listed on the certificate, include your social security number so a new certificate for the remaining shares can be issued.

Please call 866-729-0316 for instructions.

  • outright contributions of cash,
  • appreciated securities,
  • real property,
  • closely held stock,
  • personal property, such as important works of art, rare books, manuscripts, or antiques.

Gifts to attain a specified fund minimum may be completed immediately or over time (up to five years), as well as through an estate plan.
