Making Charitable Donations
Making a charitable donation of stock is easy with Scottrade. Simply complete a Charitable Gift LOA form and bring it to your local branch office.
A few tips to remember when completing the Charitable Gift LOA form:
- Make sure all information on the form is complete and accurate, particularly the information for the receiving firm.
- Include the name and phone number of a contact person at the charitable organization.
- Make sure you designate an exact number of shares that you would like to donate, not a dollar value.
- If you are making a donation from a retirement account, you will need to complete a Distribution Form in addition to the Charitable Gift LOA. Use the Traditional IRA Distribution Form or the Roth IRA Distribution Form, depending on the type of retirement account you hold.
