Donating
Stocks and Securities

For our supporters, appreciated securities are perhaps the most cost-effective assets to use in making a gift. When you transfer ownership of long-term holdings to the UNICEF USA, you receive a charitable deduction for their full market value—and you incur no capital gains tax (subject to IRS deduction limits).

Before you send your gift, please inform our staff of the impending transfer to ensure your gift will be properly credited. To do this, please notify the Donor Revenue Management team at records@unicefusa.org and copy stockgiving@unicefusa.org and your regular point of contact at UNICEF USA, if applicable. In your email, please specify the stock name, ticker symbol, number of shares, gift purpose, and the donor’s name (if not yourself). If you have questions, please contact the Donor Revenue Management team at records@unicefusa.org.

According to IRS regulations, the date of your gift corresponds to the date it arrives in our possession (for transfers from brokerage account to brokerage account). Following is the information necessary to transfer stock to our account:
