Give Stock

Transferring stock is an excellent way to support the life-saving mission of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.

A gift of securities may provide significant benefits, such as:

  • Increased value for your gift to the Institute and decreased cost to you.
  • A charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the gifted securities.
  • Elimination of capital gains tax that would ordinarily become due if you had sold the appreciated securities on the open market and donated the proceeds of the sale to the Institute.

Please notify our financial analyst of the type of stock and number of shares that you wish to give, as well as how the funds should be directed (program, pledge payment, tribute, endowment fund, etc.). We will provide you with the information you and your broker will need to initiate the transfer.
