Gifts of Cash, Stock and Other Securities


Gifts of stock or other securities are a great way to reduce your tax liability while benefiting NECO and NEEI. You many receive a charitable deduction for the market value of the stock at a time the gift is made. Donors may choose to make gifts using long-term appreciated stocks due to the potential tax advantages associated with such gifts. To facilitate a stock donation, please refer to the following instructions:

Notification of Donor Intent
The donor or the transferring broker must provide the following information for audit and acknowledgement purposes:
  • Donor's Name and complete address
  • Broker's Name and telephone number
  • Name and number of securities transferred to be contributed
  • Specific NECO or NEEI program to which the gift should be directed, if any
Please communicate this information at the time of transfer by contacting Nancy Broude, Vice President of Institutional Advancement at The New England College of Optometry at 617-587-5585 or brouden@neco.edu or fax to 617-587-5555.
