When you contribute securities, it generally takes a few days for the shares to sell and settle (normally T+3 days). The net proceeds received from the sale of securities or your cash contribution will be invested into the investment fund chosen by you, and an acknowledgement of your gift will be made available to you.

Please review the Gifting Booklet for important policies and procedures.

You should consult with your tax or financial advisor to determine how the Donor-Advised Funds can best suit your situation.
