Stock certificates held by you
Here are instructions for giving appreciated securities if you hold the stock certificate(s) yourself.
If you hold the stock certificate(s) yourself, mail it (unsigned) and a completed stock power form (pdf document), in separate envelopes but on the same day, to:
MIT Recording Secretary’s Office
600 Memorial Drive, W98-300
Cambridge, MA 02139
We suggest you send the stock certificate(s) by certified mail.
Please include a completed contribution form (pdf document), or a letter indicating the designation of the gift, in one of the envelopes.
If the stock is registered in more than one name, each person must sign the stock power form. Sign only your name(s) on the form. MIT will complete the rest of the information and will guarantee the signature when the stock certificate is being sent for transfer. If you are giving more than one type of stock, please send a stock power form for each stock.
Stock power forms are available at most banks or may be printed from this site (pdf document). If you would like to have one mailed or faxed to you, please contact the MIT Office of the Recording Secretary, at 617.253.5048 or (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
