Many people find that donating stocks, bonds or shares in mutual funds can lead to a gift much larger than they thought they could give. A gift of securities should be discussed with your financial advisor and a member of Prevent Child Abuse Georgia's planned giving staff. In general, if the securities are held in "street name," they may be transferred to Prevent Child Abuse Georgia, DTC formatted, as in the following examples.

You can establish a temporary account at your brokerage in the name of Prevent Child Abuse Georgia and transfer the donated securities to that account. The transferred securities should then be liquidated immediately. After the transaction, ON THE SAME DAY, please call Prevent Child Abuse Georgia's Director of Resource Development at (404) 870-6558.
