Stocks, Bonds or Mutual Funds

Gifts of publicly traded stock or other securities are received electronically through our broker, BNY Mellon. Your broker initiates the transfer, and a receipt will be issued by the UT Foundation when the gift is posted.

Why

As with cash gifts, the support is immediate, and you may direct your gift to a specific campus, college, program or institute. In addition, gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares can be a tax efficient way of giving for a donor.
