Make a Gift of Securities

Ready to make a gift of securities?

To make a gift of securities, you will need to notify your financial institution. Due to fluctuations in pricing, the details of your gift will not be finalized until after your financial institution completes the transfer.

*Please note: If you are seeking to donate stock or mutual funds from an IRA account, we appreciate your generosity, but the IU Foundation does not accept gifts of stock or mutual funds from IRA accounts. To donate cash from your IRA, please contact our Gift Planning team at 812-856-4197 or email carflatt@iu.edu.
