Donate Stock to CCFA

If you have the stock in a brokerage account:

Step 1: Write a letter to your broker asking him to transfer XX number of shares of XX stock into CCFA's name. In the letter include the stock's name and symbol, number of shares being transferred, donor name and the name of the firm sending the transfer. Include the following information:

UBS Financial Services, Inc.
Account number: Y184552
Account name: Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America
UBS DTC: #0221

CCFA Tax ID: 13-6193105

Please indicate whether your gift is to be directed to a specific event or program.

Send your letter to:

Roger Kraus
UBS Financial Services, Inc.
299 Park Avenue, 25 th Floor
New York, NY 10171
(212) 821-7043

Step 2: Send a copy of your letter of instructions to your local CCFA chapter, or to the National Headquarters of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America, Inc., 386 Park Avenue South, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10016-8804, att: Alicia Kozma. If you prefer, you can fax your letter to 212-779-4098, or call 646-943-4779. It is important that you let us know you are making this gift, as electronic transfers often arrive with no donor name and it becomes difficult to credit the appropriate person. If we cannot identify the appropriate donor, your gift might be bounced back to your account.

If you hold the stock certificate:

Sign a stock power for each certificate and have your signature medallion guaranteed.

Then mail the stock power and the stock separately. This is to ensure against fraud if the envelope is lost. Include a letter requesting transfer into CCFA's name.

You will receive an acknowledgment of your gift in the mail, which includes the date that CCFA received the gift and the value of the stock (the average of the high and low quoted selling prices) on that date.

If you have any questions, please contact the Stock Gifts coordinator at 646-943-4779.
