Your gift of appreciated stock will not only help us achieve our mission-critical goals, but it is also an easy, tax-smart way for you to give to CCFA. When giving appreciated stock, you'll receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock or mutual fund, and you'll avoid capital gains tax. It's a "win-win" gift for both you and CCFA!

Because electronic transfers often arrive with no donor name attached, we ask that when donating stock you contact the Foundation at 646.943.7425 with your name and the number and type of shares of your donation. This allows us to attribtue your gift correctly, send you the proper tax documentation, and thank you for your generosity and support.

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:

State Street Bank Corp.

A/C# 70-777301

Account Name: Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America

DTC # 987

FFC: BJ63

CCFA Tax ID: 13-6193105

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

Send your letter to:   Francis Smith at fps@capgroup.com or Alexis Keller at ammk@capgroup.com

Step 2: Send a copy of your letter of instructions to:

If you prefer, you can email it to asinger@ccfa.org

It is important that you let us know you are making this gift, as electronic transfers often arrive with no donor name, and without your notification we will be unable to send you the proper tax documentation for your gift.

If you hold the stock certificate:

• Sign a stock power for each certificate and have your signature medallion guaranteed. 
• Include a letter requesting transfer into CCFA's name.
• Then mail the stock power and the stock separately (this is to ensure against fraud if the  envelope is lost) to the following address ...

Please provide notification and gift details to:

* Francis Smith at fps@capgroup.com or Alexis Keller at ammk@capgroup.com

* Amanda Singer at asinger@ccfa.org or mail a copy of the letter to:

All donors receive an acknowledgment of your gift in the mail, which includes the date that CCFA received the gift and the value of the stock on that date.
