Add your E-Trade account number and name on Page 1 of the form and sign on Page 2

For maximum tax benefits. Contribute shares you’ve held over a year and have appreciated the most.
Record your cost basis before transferring. Most brokerages don’t keep this once shares leave your account, but you may need it for tax reporting.
Do not check “anonymous” on the form. We need your name to match the transfer.
Only stocks and ETFs are eligible. Mutual funds, fixed income, and other assets aren’t currently supported, and the transfer will fail if they’re included.
We’ll sell your shares once received. The sale proceeds are added to your Giving Fund balance.
Already picked an investment strategy? Your contribution will be invested automatically at the next market opportunity.
Transfers usually take 5–10 business days from when you submit it to your brokerage. Timing depends on your brokerage’s processing times and can sometimes take longer. We’ll notify you once it’s complete.
